No issue with stating he'll have a difficult time - that's good info to share that may help the OP and community.

However, It's not your role to tell someone struggling that they will "never" be able to do something. I know some crappy parents who impact their kids with this type of condemnation/ doubt. It's not constructive, not in the spirit of helping people like the OP who asked for help.
Also, in general, the use of absolutes "always, never, meaningless" with judgments tends to be divisive, not help a conversation along - did someone important in your life teach you to communicate in this way? I have empathy for you, if so.
@Birdsnest please go ahead and shore-up your challenge areas/ prepare for KP, and thrive there. When you do, be sure to update the board as you continue on your journey.
@tankercaptain be sure to follow their journey, thank them for their service, and venmo the new officer a commissioning gift and an apology for writing them off too so
