Military and stuttering Hello everyone, just wondering if anyone joined the military with a stutter? My stutter isn’t terrible and for the most part I can get my sentences out (social pressure sometimes gives me anxiety making it worse). The problem is that I’m going to officer candidates school where I’ll be in a leadership position and expected to communicate with my subordinates with confidence. Does anyone in this sub have any experience with military officers and stuttering? And insight or advice would be much appreciated, cheers!
