If he drops the weight he will be happier for it himself. Have him select a school to get some training otherwise he may end up as Boatswain's Mate chipping paint & painting which is not much fun as a daily job.

Only did 1 tour and got out in 1985. Got to see the good and bad of the world and came back home to sweet ol's USA although there was a time I was strongly considering New Zealand as new home.

Worked as Electronics and Software Engineer with USN Weapons/Avionics both as Gov't staff and major contractors (Lockheed, CRC etc) until 1992 when Arkansas man took over the White House and cut Defense spending to the bone. Workwise my 1st love is still aviation but the skills learned in USN and as a consultant to the DoD have served me quite well. I am now managing a team of 145 folks both here and abroad.
