"My senior year roommate at West Point became a tunnel rat. Don't think this passes the smell test." I thought the same thing. Googling as much as I could, the guy does seem to be legit. I would still like to know more about him though.

Possible explanation...tunnel rats were volunteers who were not picked by rank, but rather because of physical characteristics, like being small, thin, agile and instinctivly wary and alert.

Officers served as tunnel rats. They were chosen mostly on size and other charateristics, and rank was mainly irrelevant.
