Also, in the Army after you complete Basci Training you start what is called AIT (Advanced Individual Training-I think that's what the letters stand for).  During AIT you attend classes pretaining to your MOS (job).  I remember when I was in, there were no accomodations for that either.  You attended classes and you were expected to study and pass the test just like every other soldier.  I assume the reason the military do not provide accomodations is it's a uniform institution.  Everyone is expected to perform on the same or higher levels.  The drill sergeants will tell you during training (BT & AIT) that they do not have time for "slackers".  So again, I caution anyone assisting a LD individual into the military.  They're a lot of factors to consider in doing so.

I did not ask about specific jobs.   However, since I was asking about 
accommodations for the ASVAB and the requirements for joining the military, I would 
assume that this response would only apply to military positions.   I do not 
know if the exclusion also applies to civilian personnel working at a military 
establishment.
