I'm sorry and I'm not meaning to be awkward but why shouldn't he go in as an officer if he's got the grades to get him in at that rank? I can't imagine anyone, royal or not, saying 'I've got a degree but I'd rather start as a squaddie, thanks', everyone is more or less bound to want to start at the highest rank that they can. Plus, I thought that if you went is as a squaddie there was only so high you could be promoted to regardless of how good you are. So, again why should he not go in as an officer?
