SPC Blake T Law
Well I did it. I’m in the United States Army National Guard for the next 6 years. And I wasn’t nervous at all about signing those papers or swearing that oath to uphold the US Constitution; not because I take it lightly or do not intend to honor my oath or commitment, but because I know this path to be a wise one for the provision of my family and the advancement of the Kingdom of God. It is a godly thing to gain employment in any honest line of work to pay the bills and take care of your family. Through many talks with my pastor (who is a chaplain in the Navy) I have seen that this is honest work and not out of line with our denomination’s traditions on ministry. I would love to write more about the details and the screening process I went through, including the physical and the ASVAB which I scored a 98 on out of 99, but I have to get going! Sarah and I are moving into our first apartment together tomorrow, in Raleigh, and it is very exciting. Lots of job interviews/prospects too. Until next time!
Hey Blake,
Let me know once you and Sarah get moved into your new apartment. I would love to come and visit you guys. As you may know, the recent moves have been putting you closer and closer to where I am staying. That said, I am mid-process to moving to a new apartment in Lumberton myself. Well, I had better get to bed soon. Take care bro!
