Air Force Tech. Sgt. Juan Hernandez, 731st Air Mobility Squadron air terminal operations center senior information controller, describes the color identification system he uses to compensate for his colorblindness on Osan Air Base, South Korea, Dec. 3, 2015. “I would have to ask people, if I was drawing a comic book character, what colors to use for each area,” he said.
