The Navy can probably enforce the contract against him. However, there still may be a way to get out of the obligation. You should consult with a local attorney about the facts and circumstances and seek an opinion from someone who has handled miitary matters in the past.
Re: Son needs military legal advice
It depends on his exact status in relation to his 'report date.' If he has yet to report, then the rules generally permit a person to withdraw from the contract. There is a process to do that. On my website I note that it's unlawful to threaten people about their enlistment obligations.
Generally there is a formal letter that must be sent to the proper decision maker. The recruiter is not the proper decision maker, and of course they have a personal interest in getting the person to report.
