I hope with the extra tuition he will pass on his own merit. An instructor that can help him through the theory might be an asset, because he strikes me as a lad who can think on his feet, just not academic in the normal way needed.
Oh, Skydragon, think of the young Prince of Orange of 1810-1815
and his becoming a British Field Marshall in the end:
From:
Prince of Orange : Napoleonic Wars : Generals :
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]British General
King William II of the Netherlands
[/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]1792 -1849[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]In 1815 he commanded I Corps of the Anglo-Allied army and did so with great personal courage. [/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Criticised for several major mistakes that led to many casualties, the prince was regarded by Wellington as inexperienced, rather than a bad soldier. [/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]He became a British Field Marshal in 1845.[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] Wellington seems to have had a high opinion of the well-mannered, charming prince who he said was "liked by every person". [/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Becoming king in 1840, William II was a moderate reformer. "[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]So Harry as well is more inexperienced than bad soldier and may get the chance to gain experience.
