Good Evening Rangers,

Please permit me to introduce myself and the reason for finally posting after lurking here for so long.

My name is Kristi and my ex was (is?) a Ranger and my son, wanting to follow in his footsteps is an aspiring Ranger. I began lurking at ArmyRanger.com, when my son began to express his interest in following in his father's footsteps. Once here, I realized I had been missing the comaraderie that was a large part of my life as a Ranger wife. I thoroughly enjoy reading all the posts and replies.

My real reason for finally posting is to ask a question. My son has dyslexia, but has never used it as a crutch and has for the most part overcome it. With this in mind, will he still be able to join the Army and the Rangers in particular? I cannot seem to find a concrete answer to my question and keep receiving differing opinions on the subject. If I am posting this in the wrong area, please feel free to point me in the right direction.

Thank you for your service to our county!

Kristi

Welcome...

I have met a number of troops who are dyxlexic, but have developed coping mechanisms. However, a waiver might be required -- it will have to be resolved during the recruitment process.

Why the divorce?

Thank you Rangers for the welcome.

Ranger Jim: Thank you for this information, it is quite helpful.

Ranger RRDTm3: There were many variances that led to the eventual demise of our marriage. The last thing we disagreed on was his "relations" with other women.
