Military Q&A: My Time as a Military Intelligence Soldier

I answer questions here about my time as a 98X/35P in the United States Army military intelligence field. I was active duty from 2003-2009 and received my Russian language training from the Defense Language Institute (DLI) in Monterey, CA.

Would they be able to kick ass with the infantry grunts too?

[@ChaseChewning]

You can opt-in for any school you want, just a matter of getting cleared by your command. And in the MI world their are two realms; strategic and tactical. If you want the "kick ass" one then you should look for a tactical MI assignment, though not always a given. Based off of the needs of the Army and your MOS, rank, etc. Stay safe!

Thanks

Depends on what you really want, but I've heard from the Navy guys that their linguists get a lot more time doing their actual MOS than other branches. But then you'd be in the Navy and I'd have to make fun of you. For the Army, your mileage may vary. Like he pointed out, it really depends on what kind of units you are put into.

[@vShadowboltv]

I wanted to be a 35P, but I missed the minimum DLAB score of 107 by 3 points. Now, I'm looking towards 35M as an alternative since the Army is returning to having the requirement of learning a language for that MOS (according to my recruiter). Would you say your DLAB score ultimately determines your language assigned at DLI? I've read around forums online that even if someone scored lower than the Cat. IV minimum, they were still assigned something like Mandarin

[@ChaseChewning]

DLAB score is a direct deciding factor behind the language they give you, yes.

[@tatertot3819]

I know this is about a year late, so I hope you see it. First off, I found your video incredibly interesting and informative. Second, I have been looking into the military; what branch, what job, ect, ect. In particular, I am looking at joining the Air Force or the Army. You mentioned you considered all the branches, I was wondering if you have any insight towards how either of them (Air Force or Army) select your MOS? The army recruiter was very informative and pleasant to talk to, but there is the whole "recruiters lie" idea stuck in my head at the moment and I have gotten 3 different answers regarding how the Air Force selects your MOS (from the AF advisers and from an AF recruiter). Thank you very much for your time and I hope all is well with your KZbin channel and retirement.

[@kombobeats]

Is it possible to learn other languages other than the major ones such as Arabic, Chinese, Korean, Russian, etc...do you know anyone who has ever learned Thai?
