The protocol is to just say no. I recommend that he decline.
We are not in this for the publicity, and his team will not look kindly on a cherry with no deployments under his belt waxing poetic about the trials and tribulations of the SFQC. The chain of command rarely sees this as a positive event either. Many ways to go wrong, and few positive aspects.
Maybe he can tell his best Robin Sage story for them, or that he can tell him, but then he will have to kill him.
Quiet Professionals do not normally give interviews willingly while still on active duty.
Have him direct the reporter to the USASOC or SWCS PAO.
