Foreign Language Specialist-Army Linguist 35W

[@ValentinK99]

I study in college for an IT field and at university for linguistics field at the same time. So I wish I had an opportunity to study like that 😍😍😍

How much foreign language specialist get paid?

[@ValentinK99]

@@askarzhaanbaev5834 It depends of qualification lol😁

[@mdmarko]

From my experience, many non-prior service students, once graduated from DLI, have no desire to stay in the military past the first enlistment. These students are treated like little children and get pressured to 'volunteer' downtown.

You're stoopit

[@Therealtrapanthem]

Elaborate please

[@ianteo-productionoutlet2969]

I would wager 90% of all foreign language problems to be attributed to legal impersonation in court. Although students have to learn scripts at the start of their assigned language, their progress and success with reductions, shortened forms and signals depend on confirmation from their state. My example would be the German language being taught from the DDR, because the module taught in Australia prefers the classification of entities to assign R.E.M. for economical gains. My best teacher or rather trainer ironically was teasing out the probability of trajectory through the suffixes for transitive verb forms in the Russian language.

What would the army pay for a German, Iranian, native speaker? I was in the German airforce, work with German police forces in the fields illegal migration, human trafficking, as well just simply translating phone calls, emails, data etc. I don’t have studied the languages officially, but the German police and state acknowledges my: Farsi, Dari, English, Pashto, Romanian, European Latin dialects, French.

[@hamiltonblankson]

Nice. You have an interesting profile. Well, besides my formal training and experience in translation and strategic communication, I also speak Twi (my mother tongue), English and French up to the native level, decent Spanish and Portuguese as well as some basic Arabic and German. Hopefully, we'll get to work together some day (whether in the US Army or elsewhere). All the best to you though!

[@RandomInternetDude5000]

@@hamiltonblankson in any case we can’t make it, I recommend you to try out for NATO and international police forces of Europe. As far as I know from other members there is no such thing as a „mandatory citizenship“ it’s truely more about skill than background. Wish you all the best!

[@hamiltonblankson]

@@RandomInternetDude5000 Oh ok. I'll look more into that. I was recently considering even working as a translator for the EU and I read somewhere that the EU doesn't typically hire people who aren't nationals of countries belonging to this bloc.

[@hamiltonblankson]

@@RandomInternetDude5000 Consequently, I was beginning to consider a doctorate in Morocco (since I could work some more on my Arabic) or Germany (since, by the end of my doctorate programme, I'd have spent three years there and I can apply for citizenship). Fortunately for me, my full-time work is remote so I can explore a number of crazy ideas. lol

@@RandomInternetDude5000 Thanks a lot for the info though. 🙌

Which languages are most in demand? I’m assuming it’s still Arabic, Chinese, and Russian?

[@AlbertNeri-fu3ev]

It's seems like most of them needed Arabic and Russian Language. I can do both. I'm from Indonesia. I can speak Arabic, Russian, Hebrew, German,Italy. Next, learn Spanish. It's Good to know each other in this video comment by have a same purpose.

How long is AIT?

[@deansmith3947]

Depends on language you get assigned. I don't remember all of them individually. But certain languages like Chinese or Korean are up to 14 months while languages like Spanish and French are much shorter, maybe like 4-6 months.

Are the Languages always assigned to you with lack of choice, or do you have some choice in what language you are assigned?

[@NotVinegar]

They will ask what you want to do, but it's ultimately their choice and mostly based on the needs of the army

[@yuri0568]

​@@NotVinegarif you already know one though, is that still not enough?

[@NotVinegar]

@@yuri0568 They will take that into consideration but it they don't have room for it or desperately need a different language they will make you

[@shinyamada488]

This is how the military works. If you have people who like (Senior NCO's and Senior Officers), you're going to get what you want. If you're not well known or disliked, they're going to put you where you're needed

[@anlerden4851]

wowwww very nice.😊😇🥰😍🤗

[@allentay4875]

The MOS language course equates to about 6 college credit hours course Berlitz diploma under intense language studies. It’s not a bachelors degree like this presentation says.

I want to become us Army please show me the sit to learn Asvab test

[@Totallynotgeorgia]

How do you learn multiple languages? Do you have to only learn one? Like will I have to learn another language on my own time

[@shinyamada488]

Once you learn one, you become more adaptable to learning others since you know how to learn language rules. And for example if you learn a European Language, you can learn other European Languages easier because a large majority of them follow the same rules

[@hamiltonblankson]

Hello! I reached out to a recruiter and had the door shut in my face because I'm not a US citizen nor have permanent residence (something along that line). But, as a recruiting team, don't you ever see the need to make an exception owing to a person's training in languages and communication, physical fitness and general disposition?

[@aslowdeathh]

I think it's sort of like a national security risk

[@hamiltonblankson]

@@aslowdeathh I get that point. In any case, they do thorough background checks so that should help mitigate the risk or don't you think so? 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@aslowdeathh]

@@hamiltonblankson maybe, I think it could work if they had some sort of exception. Lots of people get waivers from the army for different things. I think they should add some sort of waiver that might require u to do a little bit extra. Oh well, good luck

[@hamiltonblankson]

@@aslowdeathh Sure. Thanks for the concern. Anyway, if I don't get to serve with you guys, I'll definitely explore other options. The world is bigger than US. lol

[@elizabethdegroot89]

@@hamiltonblanksonDepending on your language, you can still work as an interpreter. At Cobra Gold, there are Thai citizens who work alongside soldiers translating. There is a path to do this. Likely you would just need to apply for the job and pass security clearances. What language do you speak?

Is this a newer MOS?

[@jackpeters2884]

It existed when I first enlisted 8 years ago

[@Epic11183]

My asvab scores allowed me to acquire this job, does this mean I'm qualified for top secret clearance?

Yes!

what did you score on your ASVAB?

[@shinyamada488]

You need citizenship first which is a 10 year wait. My suggestion is for you to become a permanent resident in Canada which is a 2 year wait of living there. Then you can join the CAF, assuming you have a clean record
