Your recruiter is incorrect and is lazy.

You knock the DLAB out of the park and it doesn't matter if you speak a single language other than English.

That's the problem though, the FBI wants her as a Hebrew linguist, and she really wants to learn Arabic on somebody else's dime (which is what the Navy would do for her).

Tell her to get rosetta stone and start learning it while working for the FBI.

Seriously - she'll make more at the bureau and have less bullshit/headache to deal with.

Why are people so weird at DLI? I guess Intel MOSes in general attract nerds and there was a fair share of weirdos around Huachuca but you guys make it sound like the bizzaro military. I'm going to be very let down if some of the language requiring people at my unit aren't weird when I meet them in a few weeks.

To help explain things I made a quick infographic that all the kids seem to be in to these days.

My high school actually used this standard back in the day, though I think they have since changed it.

There are also plenty of real colleges where teachers in harder majors will have grades like that.

Check out the Army thread. It's an army training wide thing. There are people at least as high as E6 affected.

I think the general best idea in any military concentration area is screw locals, use protection, and don't form lasting relationships.
