    Ogre doesn't like nerds and nor do I.

    Seriously, I think it's fairly likely that this tyke won't have much of a normal life- unless people stop coddling him and treating him like he's anything more than a clever 3-year old.

    That would of course all depend on the kind of work you will do once you are out of the army. Some private work places might offer the same kind of environment as you are now experiencing.

    No need to become dramatic. However it could be bad for their social development. It is not easy being the smartest kid in school on those ages. In essence there not enough other kids around where you can relate to. And the other kids might pick on you, because well you are different.
