I mentioned the band option

He WANTS a combat related assignment.....!

A friend of mine is dealing with the same thing. Kid is currently a Junior at Clemson in ROTC (he and my son played soccer together since they were in elementary school). He is at the point where he has to commit to enlist or not. She, of course, with the current state of affairs doesn't want this. He, of course, with the current state of affairs wants this.
He has had problems with his leg and has had some surgery over the past few years and she's praying this will disqualify him for any enlistment - even as an officer.
See if you can round up some blogs of current people in combat. I haven't read any, but it would at least give him a TRUE idea of what combat is and not some sunshine blown up his ass like the recruiter probably gave.
