well, kristin, the other option is to drop out of school (doing that anyways) cause i cant afford to go anymore, and work full time.doing this, i get paid, have a career, AND get an education, and get a lot of money to do so. in that respect, its almost the perfect decision. im not all super military, and the job i have works more with intel than actual combat, its just that this is really one of the only choices i have in my life right now. otherwise, i wouldnt be able to afford my apartment, car or anything else. id lose everything. this way, i wont have to.

basically its 1N3there are variations though... i.e 1N353A Slavic Cryptologic Linguist Russian 1N353D Slavic Cryptologic Linguist Serbo-Croat 1N374G Far East Cryptologic Linguist Korean 1N355A Mid-East Cryptologic Linguist Arabic there are also ones for romance and germanic languages. ill probably start out with arabic, although id like russian or a slavic. i figure that germanic (either swedish or german) or romance (italian or french) is pretty out of the question, at least as entry level. lots of good opp for horizontal movement though... then again, this is all if i do well on the DLAB test (defense language aptitude battery or something)... you need a 69 on the asvab verbal (or whatever) to qualify to take it and i got somewhere around a 90, so i think i ought to do well... if i dont get it, ill look for something else with either intel work or something which offers me an almost guranteed chance to go overseas for extended periods...
