I have had more than a few PMs regarding my case so I'm posting a response to cover all my bases. Here are the quick details: I failed the FALANT test ( if you want to know what that is just google it or try an online test like this one:
http://colorvisiontesting.com/ishihara.htm ) however, I passed the red/green vivid test.
I did not know I was red/green color deficient until I went to MEPS -- I can actually read the color cards but i require at least 30 seconds of careful studying to figure out what the hidden number is; however, you are only allowed 5 seconds to view each card.
I do not know what the deciding factors are for SOCOM to accept your waiver. Aside from my red/green color deficiency, I am in PERFECT health. I have a college degree, and I scored a 128 GT. I did not submit the waiver myself, the gentlemen at MEPS did that for me. It took 2 days to hear back from SOCOM. In my case I had everything leaning in my favor.
