This sucks man. I was considering OCS but the recruiter did mention during our very first meeting that my stutter could be disqualifying. He suggested I could try to submit a medical letter or a certified letter from my parents that indicates that it isn't an issue any more. Maybe I could avoid stuttering for the interview or MEPS and get away with it but then I'm not sure what would happen if I do stutter at Basic or OCS. At what stage did they tell you that it won't work? I'm surprised it didn't bother them for 3.5 years of ROTC.
