I wouldn't dispute that. But there's no reason for him to start enlisted if he can start as a officer.
Yes he will be probably be a better officer if he has been prior enlisted... But there are more then a few mustangs running around that are worthless.
Bottom line, this thread is about whats best for him. Now, after he puts the uniform on
then it is about whats best for the Navy/Army/Airforce/Marines...
