I was all of 125 pound in basic and im no more than 130 now and I'm serving in battalion. Your son should be fine on weight.. So long as he has some ridiculous strength in each of those pounds, haha.

If he is listening to barracks rumor, tell him to knock it off and work harder.
If he straps on that 75 pounds of rucksack, 12 pounds of weapon, a gallon of water etc, he'll deploy any parachute.
