That is what I thought, Greg. The FRO for his unit is hopeless--does nothing as far as I can tell unless the CO gets on his case.
He will actually be out of the Marines by then, but the restriction lasts several years, 6 was what I was told by someone who had the same type job. I think I will just put this trip on my "in-the-future" list as the other places I definitely want him to be along with us since he is fluent in Arabic and lived in Egypt for a while.
