He's a civilian, no military affiliation. If he has a passport and some $$...
But I would HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY advise him to NOT DO ONE THING that could jeopardize his appointment, nothing!!
(And realize that even overseas...some things can come back to bite you)

Yes, thank you understood. This is a highly chaperoned trip. Highly highly chaperoned .
Concur with @flieger83, only thing I would add is to make sure to have the exact dates of travel written into the SF86 for I-Day.

If it's well chaperoned, planned out, then he should go and have an amazing life experience!!!
I haven't been there, yet...I've flown over it, but never visited. I've heard some amazing stories about amazing things to do/see!

I don't know of any restrictions; however, in addition to the advice above to not do something he will later regret, I would add don't participate in any activity that could result in an injury. An injury could "nix" his appointment offer.
As a past parents Club president, I used to tell parents that when your DS/DD gets the appointment, wrap him/her in bubble wrap to avoid an injury. Obviously, nobody wraps anyone; however, the point is that after completing such a long and demanding application process, each successful applicant would be wise to minimize activities with injury potential. The risk of losing the appointment due to an avoidable accident is not worth it. Be careful and be prepared to start BCT.
