Although he distinguished himself as part of the Carl Hayden High School Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps, he is forbidden to join because of his status as an illegal alien and he is recommended not to present himself to any government office to avoid being reported to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency.
