The reasoning, is that they fear my speech indpediment will get in the way of communication on the battle field and could result in the death of injury of me or others around me... That part made me feel really bad about myself

So now im at a loss as to what I should do. Ive been mulling around with weapons or vehicle tech.

I figure that once I get in, I can actually afford proper therapy, and maybe I can then see what happens.

Dont know why im telling you all this..but yeah
I used to stutter as a child. Learning to sing Indian classical music helped. ;-)
