This kid is behind the 8 Ball when it comes to advancement in the Army, so maybe his career isn't going so well? He has probably been in the zone for promotion at least twice and has not made the pay grade increase. His ROTC commission will require a 6 year obligation and he may be at the end of that commitment. It's possible that a $1 million dollar lawsuit would make up for not making the cut in the Army? Just my professional opinion.
I'm with you. 5 years TIG as an 0-1. That means he's not worth having but he's not worth kicking out.
