What does he do? Is he infantry?

No not infantry... He was originally attached to an intelligence battalion in the 82nd but we don't know if his group is still in Kuwait or if they moved out with other detachments. His unit did psy-ops in Kosovo so I suspect they are doing a similar function but that's just a guess. My sister-in-law talked with him four or five days before the start of the war at which time he noted they would be out of communication for awhile (understandably). From what we've been told they can receive snail-mail but that is it for now.
