By the end of the second year the College was accredited as a four-year school, and he remained there, earning a Bachelor of Arts in 1978, majoring in music. He stayed on one more year and took all language courses, finishing the program with a Major in Biblical Hebrew Studies in 1979. In the fall of that year, he spent two quarters at Concordia Seminary, St. Louis. In the fall he switched gears and enlisted in the Air Force, serving as an Arabic and Hebrew linguist for twenty years.
