Are there any military linguists out there?

1. i like my job okay.  i joined for language school more than for the job itself.  it's one of those things where it sounds like you're doing all sorts of interesting, top-secret stuff with cool equipment, when in actuality you end up doing a pretty boring job, albeit still involving top-secret stuff and fairly cool equipment.  the linguist job varies from branch to branch and even within branches, though, so you never know.\n\n2. there is a fair demand for chinese linguists--not as much as for, say, arabic or korean linguists, but more than for french or german.  do you already know chinese or do you want to learn (or both)?  if you want to learn chinese, try your hardest to get chinese put in your contract -- otherwise, you'll be assigned according to the needs of the military.\n\n3. the air force will let you enlist for four years, though the bonus is considerably smaller.  the army's minimum is five years.\n\n4. shoot me an email in the next day or so -- i'll open myself up to spammers for that long.\n\noh, yeah, and the dlab...don't worry too much about it.  if you've ever taken a foreign language and done well in it, it shouldn't be a problem for you.  even if you've never studied a language, if you know what a verb is, you'll probably still pass.

No, only CTI's deal with languages. There are many Farsi, Spanish, Cantonese, French, Russian...LOTS!\nYou do not have to be an officer, but it does involve about 2 years of schools and this is after boot camp. \nAll CTI's REQUIRE a Top Secret clearance or above. This can take a few years to obtain, but once you have it it can be very useful when and if you decide to get out of the Navy. CTI's make more money than those of other CT ratings (CTR, CTM, CTT, CTA) as they get a foreign language pay. And the more proficient that you are at your language the more money you make.

I know alot of people in the military anyways, but when I get to talking with new people, I usually look on yahoo profiles and put the differernt Forts on the searches. Fort Hood and Fort Polk mostly are the ones that I have looked at, but there are many different ones.

There's no such language called 'Iranian.' The Iranians speak Farsi. I do not know which language you should pick. I think the code makers of old based a code on the Navaho language that could not be broken by the enemy, but I'm not sure. I think Math is something you will have to know something of too, to go into that field. Ask the Air Force people who work in this area what you should study.

If you write like this then you can't get your thoughts across to your superiors or subordinates and in combat or peacetime training, you can get people killed.I wouldn't want you to be an officer because English is the required language in the US ARMED FORCES and your lack of English will indeed get my soldiers killed.

I knew a guy who was in the Army and he claimed that a click varied. They changed the meaning depending on what the situation was. Hey, thats what the man told me.
