He's asking for infantry.


If that's what he wants, there's no stopping him.

On the flip side, there are some great careers that will see him leaving Active Duty with technical degrees in Communications, Intel Analysis etc that would also give him a higher security clearance.

If he's going for a career, then Infantry is great.

If he's going for the kicks and college $$ Infantry is great.

If he wants immediate job opportunity after one enlistment he needs to find something else.

He should probably choose something that'll help him when he gets out.

All this. I had several enlisted Marines take advantage of their Intel background and top secret clearance, landed nice jobs out. If he wants Infantry, then that's fine, but talk to him about the Post 9/11 GI bill and ensure he uses it.
