51. I'm so sorry
Does he have any special training that could keep him out of combat? Electronics? Computer? Mechanics?

When my brother was sent to Vietnam, my Grandmother wrote her House Representative and asked to have my brother put in the electronics unit. This saved him from combat. He had been working in my Dad's T.V. business since the age of 12.

I would definately pursue this path if he has a special skill.
