So my little brother is going into the Army. He has been talking about the military for a while now. He wants to get in now and do Army Reserve while he finishes school. He'll still be away at boot camp and training for a few months. =(
But I have to- HAVE to- brag. =) He took their test the other day. A passing composite score is 50-99. Ben got a 98!! They were so impressed and said he could do anything. They had him lined up to do military intelligence. That would be so fun for him; he's a foreign affairs' major.
He did the Army physical a couple days ago. He's partially color-blind, and they won't let him do intelligence!!!! I can't imagine how frustrating that would be!! We always knew he couldn't match socks very well but thought it was a guy-thing.
He's not down, though, which I'm impressed about. He's going to be asst. chaplain. I think that could be a great mission field. Who knows what the Army will let him do once he's graduated??? Don't you think there would be some think-tank job he could do without using colors???
P.S. He leaves Nov. 3. We'd love prayers. =)
