I sort of halfway remember DLI coming up in another thread at some point. I don't have search so I can't find it. Pretty sure someone in there mentioned there was a LARPing group there and a few openly furry people.

redkillroy posted:Could there be a possibility that half of DLI is just real life trolls.. baiting the hell out of anyone who'll bite? Possible? Sure. It's also possible 4chan is the same thing and not just the pack of gibbering retards they appear to be. In fact the population is a lot of the same people.

For reasons known only to the more sadistic of the elder gods a lot of people who fail out of DLI end up in my MOS, which means everyone gets to spend a year in AIT with these rejects from 'sperg haven. I don't know how you linguists put up with these people. Bear in mind I'm talking about an MOS that will regularly make jokes in binary, with the subject matter being the 7 layer OSI model in networking protocol while diagnosing errors in active directory databases. Yes we're that drat nerdy. The people that come out of DLI make even *US* go 'drat dude, you're loving weird' and try feverishly to go somewhere where they are not.

GreenMeat posted:Well, I'm giving it my best shot. The new SecDef is all about language and cultural expertise, and the concept that a brigade of prevention is worth a corps of cure will hopefully take root. The idea of multifunction brigade combat teams involved in partner-building enterprises is a bold step in the right direction. Now I just have to keep pounding on the force design fuckers until they realize where linguists (not just 35Ps, but also 09Ls) belong in order to be fully effective. I want inside the heads of these people. Seriously, I want to know what kind of Lovecraftian mental state allows them to do anything at all other than look at a Farsi linguist in Korea and say 'this is just loving dumb, who is responsible for this and why isn't it fixed yesterday'? Help me out here what is there in the world that can possibly over ride common sense that strongly?

GreenMeat posted:Not sure if there are currently any Farsi linguists in Korea, but there are plenty of Korean linguists in Iraq/Afghanistan. And Chinese, and Russian, and Spanish...etc. It's all about warm bodies. My MOS is way understrength, so it's hard enough to fill slots period, let alone w/ the right linguist. That's why so many of us are now expert 35Ns and crappy linguists. You apparently work with the guys who are making the decisions to put Korean linguists in Afghhanistan. What are their minds like? I'm curious exactly how they manage to convince themselves it's anything remotely close to a good idea.
