As Ben is getting vaccinated for anthrax & small pox amongst other things, the new station in North Carolina where he's at turned out to be one of the toughest units. They've been smoking the new guys pretty bad, even worse than Basic. But he is holding out pretty good. He enjoys the hardwork. He earned alot of respect after he was made to fight another guy in the unit and won. They even put money on them!
However, there's good new and bad news. The good news (for his family & friends) is that they are not putting him in the front line to fight; which is the bad news for him. He wants so bad to be an infantryman. But now they have assigned him to do intelligence. Although he's always been able to hold his own pretty well, they don't think he'll be able to ruck with 100 lbs. sack on his back. He is crushed. Due to low supply in weapons, he will not be issued a gun. He'll be in the safe zone so there's no need. He wanted so bad to be fight for his country, now they won't allow him. But we have to remember that God is in control & He has a perfect plan for him and us. We always have our own agenda & God will lead & guide us to wherever He knows it's best for us. When He closes a door, He always opens another one!
