CRYPTOLOGIC LINGUIST AIR FORCE MONTEREY FREE
Feel free to discuss anything about the Air Force or military in general. You can hit PM me if you have any specific questions.Welcome to the United States Air Force subreddit. All to do one RJ rotation and then move on to way cooler shit that they don't do anymore. In fact that was about as streamlined is it could have possibly been. I was Dari and and when all was said and done it took 2 1/2 years to get to my operational squadron. When you go through as a non-prior it's just a lottery and whatever classes happen to be starting the week you get there for the most part. I'm sure you're able to work more of that stuff out to your favor as a retrainee though. The Air Force doesn't care if you are or not either because they almost never pick a language for you that you already speak anyway. The vast majority of people who go through aren't. This was awesome because it fostered a much more relaxed environment and a better atmosphere for learning. I can only speak for mine and we had almost no military oversight at the schoolhouse. The good thing about DLI is that your teachers are all natives and you have little to no military oversight in the classroom, depending on your language. I'm retraining out of 1A8 into the 1N at Goodfellow right now and it sucks. I don't believe you can become a linguist without getting 100 or better on DLAB unless they've totally changed something. Your mileage may vary I hear things are different elsewhere.
Other stuff: pay is better, $250-$400 per month in language pay, $125+ per month in flight pay, deployments of course come with additional pay and no taxes. Generally chill environment, do some work, have some "root beer" and jalapeno popcorn, leave at 3 or so independent self-starters will find more success than people who prefer a more structured environment. As aircrew you have, rough estimate, 50 or so ground and flight training items that it's your responsibility to be current in, so that occupies some time as well. I rode around in helicopters and rucked around in the desert for a week playing OPFOR for a major exercise. Many opportunities to do fun bonus stuff - RED FLAG Nellis or Alaska, ANGEL THUNDER, FOAL EAGLE/TEAM SPIRIT/whatever it's called now, joint stuff with other services, etc. Training sorties are boring, but at least it breaks the monotony. Office work is office work and depends on the office, generally pretty low-key though. Basically eat -> fly -> gym -> eat -> chill -> sleep, lather, rinse, repeat, count your fat stacks of Benjamins.Īverage work week: on average, office work 4 days, fly 1 day. Deployments are cool and people volunteer for them all the time. Could be anything from 1:1 dwell to essentially voluntary. I spoke a little bit of Italian, which I've since forgotten.ĭeployments: depends on airframe. Goodfellow sucks, unless you have no taste, in which case you'll love San Angelo. As a prior service retrainee you'll be loving it though, all the benefits of being in Monterey without the AETC BS. Since everyone else seems to be a cave-dweller, here's an aircrew perspective.
