Yes, but not because of the fact that it's military training. If you'd have told me 15 years ago (I'm 29 now & have been in for almost 10 years) that I would be joining the military I would have laughed at you. I would've done the same if you told me I would be an MTI at any point in my life. I mention that because the idea seemed impossible to me at some point, a large reason for that mindset being because I have a stutter. I've found that putting myself so far out of my comfort zone has been the best thing I've ever done in relation to dealing with the fact that I stutter. Things that used to stress me out, like answering the phone for example, don't even register with me anymore as something to worry about. As a result, my stutter has decreased significantly over the years.
