That's not the tack of conversation I was taking, but to be honest I'm not sure what procedures / options the service academies have if an already enrolled student proves to be academically acceptable but fairly obviously isn't cut out to be a leader of men. At the least the stutterer really wasn't cut out for, far as I can tell, anything unrestricted line.

This was also '04 timeframe so you're talking guys who got into the Academy pre-9/11 and possibly into the nuke side pre-Iraq War, I'm not sure how that affected things.
