I had a Reservist Navy Chaplain tell me this...

He was doing a short cruise and he got roomed with one of the college instructors that had come onboard. The guy did not take a shower-on the ship no less (that is just disgusting!! And, you see it out there all the time). What he did was he had deoderant which he "showered" with...On top of that he had other hygiene problems.

This is what the Chaplain did as he did not want to offend him, but he did rattle his cage a little. He went to the Ship's Store, and bought a bar of soap, toothpaste, etc. to give to him. He then sat down with the guy and had a heart-to-heart (one-way of course) and told him what he and everyone else thought then quoted some regs on how he's supposed to take care of himself. It turns out the gentleman said he was afraid to get naked in front of other men because he was embarrassed about certain aspects of his body, so he never hit the shower. The Chaplain basically told him in no uncertain terms he WILL shower.

How would you like to be told by a man of the cloth that you are nasty?

He never had a problem with the instructor again.

This is exactly how I would deal with your situation. Now usually, but not always, profuse sweating is hypertension. He probably needs to exercise. Since I started running 9 miles a week, I don't sweat NEAR as much as I did before, and my blood pressure is now at a runner's level.
