6. If David Robinson could serve at 7'1

Then Barron can serve at 6'7 pr 6'9 or however the hell tall he is. Robinson's only problem was that he initially wanted to serve on submarines and he was too tall for that, so he went elsewhere in the Navy. I think Barron is too tall for helicopters (boo hoo) so he might have to serve in the ground troops like Prince Harry did. If it's good enough for British royalty, it's damn well good enough for American pretend royalty.
