The brains in the family I've married into...

Noah, who scored pretty impressively high on the first test (I forget what it's called) went and took the linguist test, and BLEW THEIR DOORS OFF. Woohoo! Recruiter said he's never seen anybody score that high in all the years he's been working there. So Noah can pretty much write his own ticket. Boot camp starting in December (yay, avoid the heat) and he'll probably choose to be stationed in the Japan area (that being his area of preference). After the recent nuttiness with Kim Jong Il, I'm sure it won't be difficult to get a posting over there, particularly as a linguist.

So J & I are really excited for him. We've all got to throw him a party before he goes, don't you think?
