How not to waste 2 years.


Got my test results today and I was successful. I wish I could write that I got a B, for example, but the scale they use at the DLI doesn't translate to a standard academic rubric. For the record I got a 2 in listening and a 2+ in reading on a test that runs on a scale of 3 (I think) so it looks like Uncle Sam can't get out of that lucrative signing bonus he owes me.

Next stop, Texas.

PS: Thanks for the prayers and support!

Congratulations Rusty! That's awesome. Where in Texas will you be stationed and how long will you be there?

Thanks guys :)

I'm sure you've noticed that Edward's not great at bragging... so I guess that's my job. Being that I'm a "military wife" I can tell you for sure that it is really difficult to get a 2, which is a very high mark. Not an equivilant of a "B." But a 2+ is really rare.

Guess it's that Gimbel brain thing.
