Joy to the World!!!!

 It's official:  J's been accepted as a security guard for the embassy service!

This does not mean an immediate posting.  He must first attend a training course  (the date of which we still don't know) before he can be considered, but at least he is in the pool now.

Hooray, hooray, horray!!!!!

Thanks again for all your prayers and positive thoughts.
