I have searched the forums and could not find anything directly relating to this question. I am currently talking to a recruiter about enlisting, the only hang up is I have a mild stutter where it occasionally takes me a few seconds to get a word out; most of the time however, I am fluent. I am going to need a medical waiver but my recruiter seems confident in my abilities to get in with an 18x contract.

I understand the need to communicate quickly and effectively to do the job, paired with the need to be able to instruct and lead. In this area I feel confident in my ability to speak but might have blocks occasionally.

My questions are have you ever met anyone in SF with a stutter/speech impediment? Have you heard of someone not getting selected due to stuttering?
