...really noticeable? I was diagnosed with APD. However, if I were to engage in regular conversation, no one would know I had a learning disability unless if I told them.
 
Unfortunately, your disorder will probably be quite evident in basic training/boot camp; there is rarely any "regular conversation". In addition, if you WERE to make it through, you'd need to react quickly and correctly when someone yells "incoming".
 
My mom had a learning disability and she was in the army JAG corp. I'm in the process of joining and I have a learning disability similar to yours only difference is I have trouble processing written instruction. As long as you disclose it and it doesn't really effects you in any way then you should be fine. good luck.
