<p>Whistle Pig, thank you for your reply. I have been reading CC for a while and your comments are always well informed and greatly appreciated.

<p>You raised a very important point here. After your comment, I realize that the LD will not only hinder his admission chances, but worst of all, it poses a great concern to the safety of the fellow squad members in a combat situation. God forbid if he misread a co-ordinate. I can see why the academy and the fleet is not inclined to accept one with Dyslexia. Now I am concerned for both his and the other soldiers’ safety and their effectiveness.</p>
<p>In the application process, is he obligated to disclose this? Afterall, to his credit, he has gone through the military school without any special provision for his Dyslexia. But that is possible largely due to the small class size.
On the other hand, the school itself may not disclose it either, because he has not needed any special attention thus far even though they know about it.</p>
