The brains of the family

My brother has been living with my parents for the past two years....he's done with school and has been working part-time for World Flight Services (the contract company for Northwest Airlines in Boise). My parents finally told him he needs to get another job so he can move in the direction of getting his own place. Instead he decided to consider following in the "family footsteps" and join the Air Force. He and my Dad went to meet with the recruiter and were advised to fill out the application and that it is an approximate 4-6 month waiting list. Well, he filled out the application and went in yesterday to do his pre-test. The recruiter was amazed. Ryan scored a 99 out of 100 on the test. Something the recruiter had never seen before! The guy took a picture of it with his phone and sent it on to who knows who.....and who knows where. I think he has a pretty good shot at getting in....in fact, they'll probably be hounding him to join. For those of you who don't know Ryan, he's a quiet computer nerd and not one for exercising or getting out in the sun for that matter (he's about as pale as white paper). Hopefully he'll do alright during basic training. We're all really proud of him!
