What are the opportunities for those that happen to study a foreign language at the DLI, especially one of the tougher ones such as Farsi, Arabic, Korean?
Anyone study there? I scored well on the DLAB and am hoping to get an opportunity to go there and get paid to learn a language.
The opportunities are good - as long as you can get the highest security clearance. Basically you would be going to work for the NSA.
Whoops - you're going to Army OCS? You will probably not be going to a long language school, those are mostly for enlisted. You would have to be commissioned in MI branch for it even to be thought of.

Any vets able to provide info on the GI Bill. I am going army ocs in a few months and the army has cancelled their college loan repayment program. Is their anyway to use this money to already acquired student debt rather than being forced to use it for post-grad courses? Thanks in advance, and as always, thanks for your service.
With some student loans you can defer repayment for up to four years of military service, interest-free. Maybe your debt will be inflated away by then.
