Sinking the Navy to Go Army

 "Come, let Us go down and there confuse their language, so that they will not understand one another's speech."

--Genesis 11:7 NASB

**For those who have been following the process of joining the military, I have an update.

After two months of waiting to contract with the Navy as a CTI (Cryptologic Technician Interpretive) we have begun to grow impatient and reevaluate our plans.  We called the Army and have begun the process to enlist as a Cryptologic Linguist, basically the same job with an Army uniform. 

I have to admit that it was not my first choice but I will be very glad to get this job in any branch, and I am willing to sacrifice a bit of comfort for the experience that this job will offer. 

Through college I tired of Computer Science and grew more interested in Spanish and other foreign languages, however the connection was not complete until after graduation.  Now I am pursuing a career as a Linguist and would like to earn a Masters Degree in time, but this is a great intermediary step in my opinion.  South Korea served a similar purpose--an opportunity to travel, learn a new language, immerse myself in a foreign culture, all while paying the bills!  I even met my wife while living there!  This position seems the same.  It really covers all my interests well and despite a few small drawbacks (boot camp won't be easy, for instance) I am ready to embrace it.

While there is nothing official and there are no promises I am confident that we will become Army property very soon.  After all this waiting it will be a huge sigh of relief, also, we can tell my wife's family that we're going to marry--even though we're already married.  Hehe.  Here we go!
