They never explained why he was there -- had he joined the CIA and been stationed there?

Did he even join the CIA?
He just talked about wanting to join, but its never followed up on.
But the kid had a trustfund, he did what most liberal teens with money do, travel the world one hotel room at the time.

It was my understanding he did join , was in Africa then the Germans fixed it so an agent of theirs who was a female from africa used the son and at the same time have something to hold over the fathers head to be used when the Germans had need of a favor at some point in time .
