While I was over at the university I will be going to in the fall today, I stopped by the AROTC battalion office to find out more in terms of about what I should take military science wise for this coming semester should I enroll in AROTC. However, when we got around to the topic of being certified medically and overall competent to participate in AROTC and obtain a commission in the Army I told the officer I was speaking to that I had a learning disabilty in mathematics. She said that, that would most likely prevent me from seeking a commission in the Army.
I was wondering if this would or not? Since in regards to the mental, and medical standards for service, a policy on learning disabilities in the realm of math really isn't stated. Especially, since it mainly effects me academically, as I really don't have issues with day to day things involving math.
I also ask since I know of other people in the armed forces who hare the same or similar learning disabilty as me who were able to commission or enlist just fine.
