I've lost several friends because they got disenrolled from the Farsi program. It sucks that re-languaging students is so rare, cuz several of them had prior language experience.

Buff Tannen posted:It's two hours of "training" this Friday and it's in PT gear. Basically we're gonna run a mile or two around the track, and then go inside and talk about how evil all of us men are, and why we shouldn't have sex with women unless it's our wife and we're intending to impregnate them. Nah it wasn't bad at all. I can't believe there were people falling out of the run though. It was like 1.5 miles at the pace of a light jog.

not caring here posted:To be honest I just don't like the sound of it. It simply sounds unpleasant to my ears. Also, the (greater) possibility of me getting sent to some shithole in the middle of assfuck nowhere only to sit in a guard tower trying to pretend to not be jerking off doesn't sound like a great time. I think the Arabic languages sound cool. I'd love to have an Arabic language. But then again, the grass is always greener on the other side.

Professor Bling posted:Saw that myself the other day. Not sure I'd trust any of those kids when it comes to any issues a teal rope would "handle." No I wouldn't either. They seem far too young and unqualified to handle or discuss something that can potentially be a felony. The majority of them most likely applied to the program just to add another item to the bullet sheet.

faddypaddy posted:First off the DLAB is a horrible indicator of how well you will do. Secondly just work your rear end off and you will be fine. DLI isn't hard so much as some people just stop giving a gently caress or never did. I didn't see a single person while I was there who legitimately put work in and didn't pass. It won't be easy it is a lot work but if you do it, it's not that hard to pass. I've seen the hardest working people still fail, and i've seen lazy people pass with decent scores. I dont even think classroom performance and dlpt scores are related.

For those of you that are going to be Cryptologic Language Analysts here at the DLI. What kind of intelligence does the Cryptologic Language Analyst position deal with? Is it MASINT, SIGINT, CYBINT, etc.?
|
# ¿ May 14, 2013 03:10 |

TheUnhorse posted:hone those intel skills early and try to figure it out. hint: look up what those ints actually cover Well the reason I ask is because from what I heard from several people, Cryptologic Language Analysts don't actually do any sort of intelligence gathering. They just translate. Which is why I'm curious as to what category of intelligence gathering it belongs under. To me, the Cryptologic Language Analyst position doesn't seem related to intelligence gathering at all, unless I'm not being told something. Its just a language translating job with a cool name. Nor does the Cryptologic Language Analyst job have anything to do with cryptology, cryptography, or cryptanalysis.

I'm pretty sure this is about to hit most Military Training posts soon as well due to pressure from the President. And that was how the Mucky Duck went out of business. Dont worry, every other branch without a curfew will try to hold it down.
