They teach Tagalog and Spanish there? I thought it was just languages pertinent to whatever mission is being done, like Cyrillic, Arabic, and some commie languages.

Yes, contrary to the other post up there, they definitely teach those, especially to boots, or at least in 2010-11 they certainly did. if you get there and already know a language, they put you into another. i was there as a native russian speaker, there were two others (all of us NCO lat movers), we got pashto and dari. three of our friends, also NCO lat movers, coincidentally all infantry, got russian.
btw, cyrillic's not a language, it's a script most closely associated with the russian alphabet, hth

They teach the majors like Mandarin, Korean, Arabic+dialects, Farsi, Russian and Spanish there primarily to first termers.
For those of you that haven't been there in a while, I graduated in September and this is presently accurate. Also Pashto. Dari got shut down last year. The place definitely lives up to the name "Desperate Love Institute" - among other exciting events, by the time my class ended I was the last one that wasn't married.

He lives in Moscow, and Muscovites in general are pretty smug about how big of a deal their city is wrt rest of the nation.
Prob thinks Washington state and Washington DC are the same (or confuses one for the other), and also that DC to USA is same as Moscow to Russia.

Those kind of dudes do exist IRL. A friend of mine worked as a translator for a large Japanese company in Tokyo as a technical editor, translating Japanese engineer's notes and manuals in to English, French, Italian and Korean. He said that they're all Japanese airsofters are OBSESSED with America, they have flags, GI Joes and model cars, planes and tanks everywhere and the occasional American issue of Playboy/Penthouse, which are technically illegal over there because they can show pubes and vulva. It's like they're the average American 13 year old

Yup. Needed to find a safer job (with health insurance) after working on a one man atm servicing armored truck route. The better I did at my job the worse areas they sent me in to work. Because of crazy BAH I'm making more than I was working 60 hour weeks and getting clearances and baby's first IT education.

Except for the rape part. That sucks.

My dad did that for Diebold and uhhh.. NCR for a long time. He liked the driving around, but did get tired of the areas getting sketchier and someone trying to rob a coworker. 4/10 would not follow in footsteps

What the gently caress, a 1-man ATM route? That's goddamned stupid, how did their insurance company not throw a FIT? We had routes that required three people and occasionally a chase car. Not ATMs, but drat.

I serviced ATMs when I was in high school. I'd basically drive around in my car with about $20-50 thousand in a canvas bag and refill four ATMs the bank had. The closest I came to being robbed was in a Wal-Mart, when some sketchy dude was eyeballing me, but a family friend who was a cop just happened to be there at the same time and stood there with me while I was doing my job and scared the guy off.

We had a guy that got jumped when he was passing through a small outer lobby at a bank. Some guy bumped into him and sprayed him with pepper spray. Our dude still had his sunglasses on which blocked the worst of it, and he proceeded to beat the would-be robber's face until he just collapsed and was held at gunpoint until the cops arrived. That was pretty cool. All I ever had to deal with was about 8 people a day saying "Oh you can just put that in my car hurrrrrrrrr."
