I find that it can change a lot over time which words/letters I have problems with. But your problem seems to be something else, fundamentally: >I'm going into the military in 9 months and want to be mostly rid of stuttering before I join. Realize that you _will not stop stuttering_. There's no effort on your part that can _take away_ your stutter. It's there. Learn to live with it. Let's take some time to let that sink in... ... There. Now, you can certainly try to deal with the stutter, and control it to some extent. But if you go looking for "a cure", you're gonna get dissappointed. That's why I chose to write the above, to try and get that idea off the table. Don't stress! You're not in a race to outrun your stutter. You're just trying to get more grip on it, in this phase of your life.
