States that the written consent may be required as a condition of enlistment or appointment of an only child as a member of the armed forces. Provides that if a member becomes an only child after being assigned to such duties, the member: (1) may consent in writing to continue such duty; or (2) shall be reassigned upon request to noncombat duty as soon as practicable.
