Probably my first real comment on Reddit. Literally just searched for a subreddit like this one and was surprised to find it. I've had a stutter even since I can remember honestly. I feel like it has only gotten worse, but my wife likes to tell me otherwise. I know shes just being kind. It's pretty rough, but weird. Sometimes I'll find a groove and just speak no problem. Other times, its every other word, and I can barely make a sentence. Anyway, to answer your post, I'm currently an infantryman in the United States Army. I've been in for almost 3 years now, and will be picking up the rank of Sergeant in, hopefully, July. I'm not one to brag about myself, but I'll be damned if I'm not proud of my accomplishments here. From earning my Expert Infantryman's Badge last fall, to having the opportunity to become a non-commissioned officer in under 3 years, it's all pretty unheard of (at least in my unit). They know I have a stutter. It seems to go away a bit at work, although I do find myself working around saying certain words all the time. Still, when I hit moments where I feel really upset about my speech impediment (like right now), it brings me joy seeing how much I have already done with my life. Nothing is impossible, and fuck me if I let some piece of shit achieve more than me just because I have a stutter. Having some awkward conversations with people isnt worth hiding under a rock and limiting yourself. Do your job, do it like you're a fucking superhero, and then go home to people who support you and accept you.
