Analysis
The Use Spirit is Officials (the army, career). Two Officials Metal appear: You Metal at the Subject line (line 3) and Shen Metal at line 5 (moving). The Xu month produces Officials Metal; the Yin day clashes with Shen Metal (the moving line 5 is clashed). The Subject line Officials You Metal is produced by the month and not restrained by the day — fully thriving. Officials are in full thriving with two Officials lines present. Conclusion: he will surely be selected into the army; the timing falls on a day when Metal peaks.
Actual outcome
The questioner was indeed selected into the army as predicted.
