I am shipping out to army basic training on Monday with a stutter!! You can do anything you want if you put your mind to it, I know it sounds cliche lol but its true. Even at MEPS I stuttered terribly a few times but didn’t talk much except the doctor and tried to talk smooth as possible. Even one lady there for the color blind test, I blocked for the first number and im like sorry I stutter sometimes. She said oh your good, then I forced my self to say the rest not stuttering most of the time! Its an on and off thing for me
