Hello all,
I'm not certain if this is the right place to post this, so my apologies if it isn't.
Anyways, I recently took the DLAB (last Tuesday to be exact) and scored a 121. I'm very interested in joining the USMC and was wondering if anyone on here who is currently or was a linguist could shed some light on just some basics. DLI, TSC, any school after that, duty stations, etc.
What I'm also really concerned with is getting the job on my contract before I enlist. Will the MOS I want be guaranteed on my contract? Or will I only have some "wish list" and get whatever job the Corps wants me to have?
Now getting even more specific: say that I do get the MOS guaranteed on my contract, what will be my say in the language I learn? I'm pretty certain that it'd be chosen based on the need of the service. Which I'm assuming is a language of the Middle East. I just want to hear it from someone with some actual background in the subject.
Thanks in advance to any replies.
