He is certainly an honorary member of the military. His books were so popular, especially in the navy, that he has been able to tour nuclear subs, aircraft carriers and has even been on patrol with one as a civilian adviser/observer.
He has published numerous non-fiction books on various military units (Armored Cav, for one), their equipment, history and how they work. Rumor has it that after The Hunt for Red October, the White House had him debriefed to find out how he knew as much as he did, since some of the technical information in it was classified.
