Hahahaha! I laugh at your response man. They mock you because of your retaliation. Show your oomf. Let it anger you not distress you. The times when I least stuttered in the past is when I confronted ...

Yeah I hope yours is too. When I was joining I had to go see a doctor type person so they know how bad I have it I guess. It was in a relaxed setting so I passed easily. But I know with the US if so...

I hope that our army is as flexible as yours. I am currently taking coaching for ssb interviews from a retired Indian army officer. It's his words that the army does not accept stutters. This out of a...

Dude you can do it. I was in the US Marines, and I have a stutter, had it since I was born. I was in the infantry, where communication is key. It was hard but it's doable. If I could do it anyone can ...

Oh god I hate this. I totally understand that some people just aren’t educated about stuttering and I am 100% able to forgive that. Until they do that. I cannot even fathom what makes a person thi...
