Back Inside, Julie says "Uncle Jesse, that was hard I didn't even think I did that good I still wish I knew how Lizzy did as well she must've aced the Auto and Shop Information section that was the hardest for me. But you know Electronics Information was really easy for me thow."

"You took the ASVAB test?" Cooter asks.

"Yes, but only because Julie was nervous about taking it. I knew it would calm her down if I took it with her so I did. Some of that stuff came out of no where but it was mainly easy. Besides Bo he's a marine. If I wanted to join the military as a mechanic I'd talk to an army recruiter. That way I know I'd be going not that far from here. It's just Fort Jackson, South Carolina. It's also about seven months for basic and AIT." Lizzy says. "You said I could keep the picture right?"

Bo says "Yeah sure, besides I didn't like the way it came out anyways. How much research did you do into this Lizzy."

Sargent Smith says "Listen, I have a letter from your Sargent as well Cpl. Duke well I know this might be kind of hard to get used right now but he told me that you actually got promoted it's in the letter. And Lizzy since your here and Mr. Davenport if you want I heard you talk about the Army nice branch of the service there all good you know. Well I can open your scores and let them know how you did as well."

Bo looks and letter and looks at Lizzy and Cooter and doesn't say much of anything.

Sargent Smith says "Well Ms.Jackson-Davenport you seemed to have gotten a 95 percent that's the nicest score I've ever seen anybody get on this test. According to this you could get any job you wanted with no problems but there also the AFQT and the physical and of course the background check as well but that's nothing to worry about but you can keep this right here and congralutations as well."

Bo says "Listen thanks for the letter, how do you know my Sargent in the first place as well."

Sargent Smith says "Well Cpl. Duke, I got transferred there and yes I see you this weekend as well just wanted to get these results done but I was listen I was thinking when your sister is feeling better why don't you bring her to Armory and I can talk with her and Ms. Jackson-Davenport you come as guest to the drill if you want to see what the Marines are like if you want to. Oh and Ms. Jackson-Davenport you got a question on Auto-Shop Information that nobody ever get right don't ask which it is but it right on that report for ya as well."

Lizzy swallows hard and looks at Bo. "It's a lot to think about. But like I said I only do automotive mechanics so it's looks like it'll be the Army if the want to run the back ground check. However, I doubt I'll pass it. I mean it's great and all that I've scored so high but I'm an ex-whiskey dealer. I didn't just run it from one place to another I made and ran the business behind it. It's not something I'm proud of but I did my time and I'm still paying for it. If I could change it would I? Absolutely not. It was the best 2 and 1/2 years of my life. I've just I've got a lot of thinking to do and if you want to put me in touch with an Army recruiter then go right ahead but it's not an easy decision especially if I went active and went through Fort Jackson." Lizzy says.

Bo says "Well your decision Lizzy, do what you want in your heart but I'll let you read this letter and you won't be seeing me after a week and it's my choice either."

Sargent Smith says "Okay Ms.Jackson-Davenport I will but in touch with a Army Recruiter as well, and one thing I guess Cpl. Duke never told you this but you never call a Marine a Soldier it's what the Army uses but us Marines it's different thow. And what is right now you look concerned right now and how bad can it be you did get a promotion as well."

Bo says "But my Buddy, he's Missing In Action and he was close and that's other part and I have to after drill in seven days report to a base in Texas for some training."

Back In the House, Julie says "Luke, Sargent Smith said he had letter for my brother but he didn't say which one and now it's bad if it's for James he just found out about Jamie if he left for a year she won't know who her Daddy as well. But one thing I just admired what you and Luke did and James did and wanted to the samething thats all I didn't mean to trump his score on the test he looks a little down about and I wander how Lizzy did on hers you if she once told if she ever joined she consider the Army and she knows exactly what she wants to as well and how long it will take."

Bo looks at Lizzy and says "Well I meant it's not my choice you'll see what I mean by nobody wants to do what this says but I can't just ignore and there's nothing anybody can do about it. Not even Boss or Rosco can tell me to stay in Hazzard right now, it's trumps what they have going here as well. You know I kind of wished I was going to Texas for a vacation for once I always wanted to go to a real cattle auction Lizzy, it sounds like fun as well. Sargent Smith where are you from originally you don't sound like it's real local now."

Sargent Smith says "Dallas, Texas and I know what you mean by that Cpl. Duke and you know it's hard when you learn your best buddy is Missing In Action. Lizzy, you do know what that means by the way and it's that the Branch of the Service he or she is in they don't know where your at and Cpl. Duke's buddy way never come back and or may never be found either. I had lost a buddy that way first he was a MIA and then three years later he was Killed In Action and but they know he was gone but they never found his body either. I had was one that had to tell his widow what happened as well it was the hardest conversation to have a anybody especially his family his father always thought his son would come home but his knowing he wouldn't well it was hard on him. He died not ever having a proper burial for his son as well. You see his widow couldn't take it anymore so she had a funeral with a empty coffin she wanted his soul at rest and she always tells me when I see her if they ever find him at least he has a place to be put at now."

"Easy Lizzy, they say it's not good to mess with a Marine." Cooter warns.

"Yeah what about messing with an ex-whiskey dealer and a mechanic. Set me up with an Army recruiter but other than that don't talk to me. Bo I'm sorry about your buddy. I hope his not a POW or gone AWOL. It's a big decision and I'm gonna have to go for a bit to think about it. I'll talk to you later Bo. I love you."

Bo says "Yeah, were twins and that's his daughter Jamie he just found out about her less than two weeks ago and she was so unhealty and he really did a good job with her. Of course with Uncle Jesse and all of us to help out as well. Her mother really neglected her she didn't even want that baby as well and the way she treated her it showed."

"Er, yeah kinda why does it matter?" Bo asks.

"You told your girlfriend of less than two weeks and the girl who has liked you since High School that you had to leave in a week for a marine base in Texas for training?

In front of a recruiter and her father. Lizzy's gonna be so mad at you. You can't just drop a bomb that big when things are so unstable between you two. Especially not when said recruiter is trying to get her to join up. Now that's gonna give her even more of a reason to say no or to be so angry you've ruined any chance you have with her."
