Maybe someone else on the thread can back me up on this one?
Air force linguist current waiting list full#
I would also research the changes that were made recently to the GI bill, because you may not get full benefits in a 4 year enlistment with a job that has a two year minimum pipeline. Depending on what language you get, it could be more lucrative to do 4 and forgo the initial enlistment bonus in lieu of the reenlistment bonus which is many times higher. If you want to actually use your language in the Air Force missions specifically, you would need to do 6 or reenlist after the first 4. I was testing for E5 right around the time my training was actually fully completed. The pipeline for 1A8 says fundies, DLI, intel, SERE and you’re done, but in reality it’s fundies, DLI, intel, SERE, airframe training, OJT training. If the Air Force wants to send you to DLI for a Category 4 language, that requires a 110 score, as a DLI rule, and so the Air Force would have to get. To give you a perspective, I was in for over three years before I had finished all my training. To bore you with the details, if the Air Force decides to accept you as a linguist with a 109 score, then the Air Force is bending its own rules (a waiver) and the Air Force can decide that. The six year enlistment requirement was initially enacted so the Air Force could actually get some use out of the linguists before they leave the Air Force. This includes no deployment prospects, as they’re usually booked out far in advance now. There is a 95% chance you won’t travel anywhere outside of your pipeline bases and your duty station assignment. It consists of audio and visual sections with a max score of 164. The test is administered at a military testing site for each specific branch. You won’t have much time to do much else, including work a mission. The Defense Language Aptitude Battery (DLAB) is a test required to work in foreign relations, linguistics, some intelligence jobs, and similar military positions.
I don’t know whether or not you’re limited to Spanish only, but I would doubt it.Įssentially you would want to enlist 4 years if you want to get your language, clearance and bounce out. This four year contract is new, and I disagree with it pretty hard.
