There is absolutely nothing to do with being an only male child in a family when it comes to enlisting or serving in combat. There used to be, but that disappeared many years ago.
I was a recruiter for 6 years.

Of course you can. There are hundreds of soldiers in the Army and Marines, Paras etc who are the only child.

Yes. The Sole Surviving Son rule only applies if your father was KIA or MIA. Also, siblings can't be sent into the same theatre during combat.

yes this is an all volunteer military. you are also subject to deployment just like any body else. the only time you would be exempt is if a parent or sibling was killed in combat.

Yes you can. The problem comes up when you are deployed to a combat zone. You must sign a waiver saying you understand that you are an only child/male child and that if you died your family name will die as well. Buddy had to sign on before we went to Iraq. Brothers also have to sign one if they are both in a combat zone.

Course you can fella. I'm the only child in my family and I had no problems joining up. Go for it, it will be the best thing you've ever done.
