crypto linguist is badass man.. I just got cleared from MEPS yesterday and enlisted as a 35N, SIGINT. Looking forward to AIT and learning about things no one else gets to see.
My father was a Russian language during the Cold War. I remember him telling me when he was stationed in Juneau Alaska that the Russians but flyover and laugh and say “Stupid Americans clothesthen my father left and pies and said “I hear you “then they would laugh. My father spoke fluent Russian that off until he died at the age of 71. He loves being a Russian language. You love this so much that he gave me a Russian name Tatiana. Thanks for the wonderful video.
Thanks for answering my question man! (Luxury in the military, TV etc.) really great when a TH-camr is so in touch with their viewers! Keep up the good work man!
@Channel well idk anything about that, Im just going for the same position he was in and my recruiter said "you could get out and go work in DC", just as a general statement, but I know he doesn't usually work with putting people into intel so
I fucked up chasing a good score on the ASVAB for Intelligence knowing I wasn't that bright and I only went for MI because I thought they were the special forces types from watching fucking movies. The whole time I scored Infantry and thought they were the ones who didn't really fight like the SF guys. Boy was I fucking wrong. Infantry was always the best route to the spec-ops and to James Bond type intelligence.
He may not have scored high enough on the dlab Russian is a level 3 language while Arabic. Chinese and Korean are level 4 maybe he didn’t score high enough to learn Arabic
Thanks for answering my question (min 5:50). Looking forward to the video about your injuries. I come from a military family and have nothing but respect for those who are and have served. Thank you Chase!
Hey Chase! Looking forward to a vid about why you left the army! I think it would be really cool if you talked about your hip injury/surgery and how you were able to bounce back from it/if it still impacts you now? I just had reconstructive surgery on my foot and, let's be honest, it freakin sucks (as does any type of surgery that impacts your ability to move, train, and simply do things on your own). It's really easy to get negative and down on yourself. Quite possibly just as much of a mental challenge as it is physical. Maybe you've already talked about this in a previous vid, but I'm new to the channel :) I admire your positivity, very inspiring to see where you're at now!
Emily Lutz definitely coming soon! And hope you have a speedy recovery - take your time and accept this time of healing. You'll be back in the swing of things soon enough!
Русский язык - очень полезно, потому что многие люди в бывших советских спутниковых регионах еще говорят на этом языке. Я сейчас в морской пехоте, как текника для БЛА (безпилотных летательных аппаратов), но я хочу изменить свою работу
Hey Chase, I'm about to enlist, just got done at MEPS and will be doing my job interview soon (Have to wait longer for a waiver for being slightly allergic to pineapple), and I was thinking MI 35M. Did you get opportunities to go so airborne ans rangee? Cause that is what I want to do very very badly. And do you know if their mission would change? Would they be able to kick ass with the infantry grunts too?
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!
The Army is the largest and generally always has the most opportunities than the other services. You may find them in the others, but not as likely to. This was what happened to me as well.
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 TH-cam channel and retirement.
I qualified for Intel with my ASVAB and DLAB scores but the Marine Corps doesn't have a slot open right now. Do you think that being a linguist in Intelligence is something that I should look elsewhere for (Army, Navy, etc.) or could I use my scores on another MOS that will create just as good of opportunities for me? 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.
Are you still serving in a civilian capacity? I’m just wondering how many doors your MOS opened for you out in the world. By the way-thank you for your service and I subscribed!
Btw for those interested in MI, your parents have to be U.S citizens in order for you to be eligible for intell and that top security clearance! I just found out and have to wait up to yr now to enlist😧😧😧
Chase, does the military branch consider you more if you have a your degree in the specific field like Special Intelligence Analyst? I'm asking because that's what I'm going to major in. What was your score on the asvab?
Is there a way to contact you? I would like to be a linguist and I have a lot of questions. I am bilingual in Spanish and English. Neither language is considered difficult but I have some familiarity with Japanese as I lived in Japan as a kid. I can recognize the language by the mixture of sounds and the writing but I will not understand it. However, I think I would be good at learning a language. I just a lot of questions and rather have my answers by someone who actually knows the answers. Thanks
I'm going to be joining. Already talking to a recruiter. But I'm shooting for 35P, I already know Portuguese fluently hoping to go in with another language though. The more languages you know the better is what I've heard. I haven't taken the ASVAB or DLAB yet, so this could all change. But that's what I'm going for.
Hey Chase, I'm a junior in high school and my recruiter just told me that the period for juniors to enlist will open next week and one of my top MOS is 35M (human intel collector) but there isn't much online about it. Being that you were a cryptologic linguist I wanted to know if there was anything at all that you could tell me about 35M. Thanks
Great video with great sights! I went through the fire academy at Goodfellow in 1996. I'd love to attend DLI. How often do you use the Russian language these days? Don't lose it!
Thank you for your service. I'm a teacher that has been assigned a class "Itro to US Intelligence and Foreign Policy." I would appreciat any resources you could recommend so I can build lessons. Thanks
I am hoping you will see this even though I am late. I am currently a 68W and am interested in reclassing to Intel. I know it varies but were reclassed soldiers common or do they tend to pull more new recruits? Any advice?
Do a lot of people learn Russian? Is it possible to learn a second language? Also you said you worked with Canadians, Do Canadians also have the same sort of school? I am Canadian and trying to enlist as a possible Linguist.
Maybe this has already been asked, but since you’ve been out, did you take a civilian job that related to your job in the Army or are you doing something completely different? I’m looking into this career because I would like to end up working for the FBI one day to help fight against human trafficking and you mentioned that you had some experience in doing that while in the Army. Thanks and thank you for you service sir!
You are not war afflicted, take your short nerd ass and watch harry potter. Why would you ever seek to go to military, I am getting harrassed by Narc aliens and demons that want me dead...
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
Do you have time for your significant other? My bf’s mos is counter intelligence and he’s currently at pi boot camp. We love each other but I’m afraid his mos will take over his life :/ thoughts and advice
It will be hard work, the military has its own agenda for sure. BUT - they are very, very pro-family and have a lot of systems and programs for people to be together or at least stay in communication and stay safe no matter where you both are.
So good ,But i Think that The Best Thing in Intelligence is To Read The people mind and Activities and the Whole Situation, you Know well About the Future That What will be Happening Next ,Its Only do by Those people Who have GOD Help.
Remember, do your part to make sure the eagle never flies away from the Presidio! And...the stories about that T-34 used to be up by the Russian school. Hormones will get the better of you if you're not careful.
@ChaseChewning what do you know about the DLI Bypass process? I already speak Hebrew and past the DLPT with a 3/3. Am currently in DEP planning on going active duty as a ground linguist. Possible duty stations?
amber Layman I’m in school at DLI currently, and from what I understand you can’t bypass it... but you can go and learn a different language and then you’ll know that language on top of Hebrew and you could get even more job opportunities. I’ve heard a few things about native speakers taking their own language but never anything about them totally bypassing
@@joeprentice5019 hmm... that's a real bummer. Is that at all branch related? because my air force recruiter suggested that as a way for me to get into the linguist program. I scored a 60 general on the asvab, 13 points too low to go the traditional route. That's why we figured if I'm not "smart" enough to go to DLI then maybe I can forgo it since I proved fluency through the DLPT.
Is there any way to prepare for the DLAB? I am going into the reserves as a 37f, have about three years of college under my belt so got a high score on the asvab pretty easily, but I feel like the language test is a whole different animal.. Plus, like you said, I do NOT want to be re-classed into something else! Thanks for the video!
Hey Chase, what language do you wish you had been assigned if you could do it all over again? I heard they may give you one of your top 3, so wondering which I should pick and in what order! Thanks!
Hello! I wanna be a cryptologic linguist but my asvab score did not qualify, my parents not a citizen, im not a citizen, is there hope for me? or should i just chose a different MOS? (and i gotta wait for a year to enlist cause I'm not US citizen)
I'm currently in the exact schooling that this guy went through. I wouldn't recommend to retake the DLAB, as if you have to retake it, DLI would be too hard for you to do (I got a 121, and Russian is not easy for me). The hardest part for you would be the security clearance, so I would recommend to pick a different MOS, as you'd wait forever for a clearance and it wouldn't even be guaranteed.
Interesting! I was a 96B Intel Analyst (no language training ) eventually met some linguists but they didnt work in a SCIF. cant say what they did but i was so jealous that they never wore BDU's and boots, except for occasional photo or dress uniform inspections.
i’m a 35F which is the new mos code for 96B, we’re pretty much ina SCIF most of the time. If your unit has an active mission you’ll have some interesting stuff to do and a bit of fun. I plan to go 35L after this contract or finish college and try to apply for fed agencies.
Hello so i have had a dismissed felony and been wanting to go intel for a long time. My recruiter says because of the case they probably won’t allow me to go intel (ts clearance) BUT if i sign an infantry contract ill be able to lat move into intel after basic training. Am i being bamboozled and led astray or is this actually possible ? Thank you to anyone who reads this!
Don’t trust the recruiter, go for any of the armys 35 series (military intelligence). When you get questioned by security clearance investigator be honest about that experience with the dismissed felony. The clearance investigators are meant to understand your situation. I’ve met people who’ve joined the military as a punishment instead of going to jail and went into the intel field getting their clearance.
Along with this, your recruiter is probably just trying to fill in spots for infantry jobs. Your needs over the army’s. Look into cool intel jobs like 35F, 35L, 35M or 35P. I’m currently a 35F and enjoy the experience. Might reenlist as a 35L in the next 2 years though to try the agent side.
@@himehime1629 Thank you for the reply you have definitely influenced my thought pattern. This is for the Marine corps though but with that being said im HEAVILY considering switching over to the army! My ship date for the marines is January 23rd. But army recruiter said i can switch no problem. It just looks like the army has more opportunities and actual benefits and you’re not just in for the "pride" of being in the branch. The usmc recruiters are some really low down people and kind of make me regret going into their office
@@skinny6710 I was in the same situation, I got out of recruiting with the Marines around a year ago because they're not really straight forward, the job I wanted wasn't guaranteed, you don't get to pick where you can go, and bonuses aren't really a thing when enlisting with the marines. The living conditions of Marines are also shit compared to the army. The Army let me pick my MOS and guaranteed it at MEPS I got to pick my duty station (option 19, talk to your recruiter with available duty stations) and I got a 7k bonus (i'm sure you can probably get more than I did) all under contract at MEPs which they made me look over like 10 times to see if everything i signed was correct.
I know this is an older video so I hope you still get this comment. First of all, thank you so much for your service. I’m a prior service Marine myself. 1371 Combat Engineer. I’m wondering if you can help me out a little bit. I’m considering re-enlisting into the Marine Corps with a lat move to the Intelligence field. I’ve already checked and I have the ASVAB scores to do so. What I would like to know is, what career opportunities are realistically there after life in Military Intelligence? Is this re-enlistment a potential stepping stone to a long and fruitful career or would I likely be looking at retiring from the military in order to find a good paying job. Thanks in advance and God Bless!
I’m currently in the army now and want to switch to a 35 series. What 35 series would you see the coolest shit and do the coolest stuff my buddy’s a 35F and he never does anything cool currently my mos has too high of points and is boring so I wanna do something cool
I was able to score just enough on the DLAB, I got a 98 when the minimum score required was a 95, and chose 35M, military intelligence collector, for my MOS. I leave on February 1st for my basic training at Fort Sill. Any other 35M here that can give me some insight on their experience? Or any tips before I go?
@@monicasalinas3348 Hi, don’t know if you’ve taken the DLAB yet or not, but I recommend understanding english grammar and syntax very very well. And practice listening and PAYING ATTENTION TO DETAIL. Minor details matter
How did they teach you Russian? I doubt they said "here's your Rosetta stone login, goodluck" Was it just a lot of classroom type stuff and speaking to people who are fluent?
How high would you say the stress level for this job was? I'm interested in this MOS because nothing else really is interesting me. However, it seems very intimidating to get into.
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?
not at all, I still had my GI Bill/Post-9/11 Bill, VA Home Loan, etc. In fact, I had more medical and financial benefits due to the nature of my injury rating and being medically retired
I just Enlisted as a 35P in the PA Army National Guard They put me in Russian too! Going to DLI in about September or October Is there anything that you can pass down to me to know from your experience
Thanks for sharing. Though you hated school you have a lifetime skill! And if you have kids, teach them Russian! I am studying Polish (Class 4 like Russian) on my own. My father is fluent in Polish and did not pass it down to his children. It is a lot more challenging than Spanish!
Hi Chase! I am currently in the DEP with 35P as my MOS! I was so relieved when I did well enough on the ASVAB and DLAB! I'm curious, did you get to fill out a wishlist for which language you wanted to learn? I have my BA in Arabic language, but also have a minor background in Russian. Ultimately, Russian or Arabic are my top wishes, but in the end it boils down to anything but Chinese (I just wouldn't be able to click with the language) -- anyway, were you given a wishlist, and if not will there be a way to push the facts I have experience and aptitude in Arabic and Russian? Thanks!
I was a USAF 14N out of the 25th AF,So if you were Crypto, you would have had a 13.5 clearance as the President is only a 17, growing up as a child on a Top Secret base my parent both were USAF R&D I've seen a lot of crazy stuff,but after the basic Military clearances with USAPS or SAPS there's a list of 28 numbered clearances, and each clearance could have an SAP or USAP connected, after the Numbered our or top named top programs, excluding Q clearance which is DOE because you need guys with all across the boards to fix power issues, because every project needs electricity, I'm pretty sure the guy online called Q had or has that clearance, but they did such a good job on me I cracked the whole top ten Programs all 10,not just the names but the key master of what each one are working on ,if you wanna see some mind-blowing shit ask me and ill send you some crazy sht it will change youre life,
Ok so I'm leaving for bmt march 27 and I signed up as a ground linguist. After i'm done at the DLI I go back to goodfellow AFB for some more training, when exactly do I go through the SC? What makes it so difficult to pass, what type of things would disqualify someone? I've done my research but it's always good to know from folks who already went through the process. Thanks for the reply!
Hi I have a question: I know that the military will assign a language based on what their needs are and your aptitude, but is it possible to request a specific language like Mandarin Chinese for example? How likely is it that they will give you a language you request?
You can request it, yes. But it is always based on the needs the military at the time and your DLAB score, unless you already speak a language and pass the DLPT for it.
What he didn't tell you was he spent most of his time mopping floors, CQ duty, Sarge's time and waiting for index on useless training exercises in the field or in a SCIF
crypto linguist is badass man.. I just got cleared from MEPS yesterday and enlisted as a 35N, SIGINT. Looking forward to AIT and learning about things no one else gets to see.

Well I can tell you Russian is one of the hardest languages to wear
Maybe this has already been asked, but since you’ve been out, did you take a civilian job that related to your job in the Army or are you doing something completely different? I’m looking into this career because I would like to end up working for the FBI one day to help fight against human trafficking and you mentioned that you had some experience in doing that while in the Army. Thanks and thank you for you service sir!
You are not war afflicted, take your short nerd ass and watch harry potter. Why would you ever seek to go to military, I am getting harrassed by Narc aliens and demons that want me dead...
Hey Chase I am thinking about becoming a linguist in the army, I know I am pretty much guaranteed to get shipped overseas so how safe is it as a 35P?
Nothing is a guarantee
I'm enlisting into the Navy and that's the job I want. I'm taking the dlab soon, my recruiter & chief is setting me up for it.
Are you still fluent in Russian or does the language retention die off over time?
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
DLAB score is a direct deciding factor behind the language they give you, yes.
do you get to pick your language at dli? I want to learn portuguese, do you think I can have a choice in the say of what I learn.
Diamond Beatz no
Diamond Beatz you won’t get Portuguese
Diamond Beatz I’ve been at DLI taking Russian for 3 months now, so if you need anything I can help you out :)
@@joeprentice5019 Don't forget that there's an online site where you can study for free.
Great video brotha!
Think I remember this guy at MRSOC when I served in the Army.
Do you have time for your significant other? My bf’s mos is counter intelligence and he’s currently at pi boot camp. We love each other but I’m afraid his mos will take over his life :/ thoughts and advice
It will be hard work, the military has its own agenda for sure. BUT - they are very, very pro-family and have a lot of systems and programs for people to be together or at least stay in communication and stay safe no matter where you both are.
So good ,But i Think that The Best Thing in Intelligence is To Read The people mind and Activities and the Whole Situation, you Know well About the Future That What will be Happening Next ,Its Only do by Those people Who have GOD Help.
Remember, do your part to make sure the eagle never flies away from the Presidio!
And...the stories about that T-34 used to be up by the Russian school. Hormones will get the better of you if you're not careful.
@ChaseChewning what do you know about the DLI Bypass process? I already speak Hebrew and past the DLPT with a 3/3. Am currently in DEP planning on going active duty as a ground linguist. Possible duty stations?
amber Layman I’m in school at DLI currently, and from what I understand you can’t bypass it... but you can go and learn a different language and then you’ll know that language on top of Hebrew and you could get even more job opportunities. I’ve heard a few things about native speakers taking their own language but never anything about them totally bypassing
@@joeprentice5019 hmm... that's a real bummer. Is that at all branch related? because my air force recruiter suggested that as a way for me to get into the linguist program. I scored a 60 general on the asvab, 13 points too low to go the traditional route. That's why we figured if I'm not "smart" enough to go to DLI then maybe I can forgo it since I proved fluency through the DLPT.
Hi i really like your Q&A vids! Quick question, is the linguistics jobs require top secret clearance?
thanks, and yes it does
Thanks for this Chase. Are you using any of your linguist training in what you do now ?
Besides conversing with Russian Uber drivers... not so much!
Is there any way to prepare for the DLAB? I am going into the reserves as a 37f, have about three years of college under my belt so got a high score on the asvab pretty easily, but I feel like the language test is a whole different animal.. Plus, like you said, I do NOT want to be re-classed into something else! Thanks for the video!
Hey Chase, what language do you wish you had been assigned if you could do it all over again? I heard they may give you one of your top 3, so wondering which I should pick and in what order! Thanks!
Would have loved to have gotten Persian Farsi since my wife is Iranian
little late of a response but im waiting to get taken to meps this week to swear the oath. Im doing 35G cant wait to begin.
What happens if you are already multilingual? Is the point to see how fast you adapt to a new language or to be as fluent as possible?
They would love to have you! Just have to pass the DLAB language test.
Hello! I wanna be a cryptologic linguist but my asvab score did not qualify, my parents not a citizen, im not a citizen, is there hope for me? or should i just chose a different MOS? (and i gotta wait for a year to enlist cause I'm not US citizen)
I'm currently in the exact schooling that this guy went through. I wouldn't recommend to retake the DLAB, as if you have to retake it, DLI would be too hard for you to do (I got a 121, and Russian is not easy for me). The hardest part for you would be the security clearance, so I would recommend to pick a different MOS, as you'd wait forever for a clearance and it wouldn't even be guaranteed.
I underestimated that test I scored a 68 it sucks because my recruiter didn't really prepare me on what to expect.
Interesting! I was a 96B Intel Analyst (no language training ) eventually met some linguists but they didnt work in a SCIF. cant say what they did but i was so jealous that they never wore BDU's and boots, except for occasional photo or dress uniform inspections.
Nice avatar. I just came back from a 5-year-tour in Wiesbaden (DoD civvie, not military)
Sounds more like counter intelligence.
i’m a 35F which is the new mos code for 96B, we’re pretty much ina SCIF most of the time. If your unit has an active mission you’ll have some interesting stuff to do and a bit of fun. I plan to go 35L after this contract or finish college and try to apply for fed agencies.
Two part question: how hard is it to get a TS, and what would your job have been in a tactical unit?
What if you're already bilingual when you join? Do you still have to learn another language?
Hello so i have had a dismissed felony and been wanting to go intel for a long time. My recruiter says because of the case they probably won’t allow me to go intel (ts clearance) BUT if i sign an infantry contract ill be able to lat move into intel after basic training. Am i being bamboozled and led astray or is this
actually possible ? Thank you to anyone who reads this!
Rule#1: Never trust a recruiter.
Rule#2: see Rule#1
Don’t trust the recruiter, go for any of the armys 35 series (military intelligence). When you get questioned by security clearance investigator be honest about that experience with the dismissed felony. The clearance investigators are meant to understand your situation. I’ve met people who’ve joined the military as a punishment instead of going to jail and went into the intel field getting their clearance.
Along with this, your recruiter is probably just trying to fill in spots for infantry jobs. Your needs over the army’s. Look into cool intel jobs like 35F, 35L, 35M or 35P. I’m currently a 35F and enjoy the experience. Might reenlist as a 35L in the next 2 years though to try the agent side.
@@himehime1629 Thank you for the reply you have definitely influenced my thought pattern. This is for the Marine corps though but with that being said im HEAVILY considering switching over to the army! My ship date for the marines is January 23rd. But army recruiter said i can switch no problem. It just looks like the army has more opportunities and actual benefits and you’re not just in for the "pride" of being in the branch. The usmc recruiters are some really low down people and kind of make me regret going into their office
@@skinny6710 I was in the same situation, I got out of recruiting with the Marines around a year ago because they're not really straight forward, the job I wanted wasn't guaranteed, you don't get to pick where you can go, and bonuses aren't really a thing when enlisting with the marines. The living conditions of Marines are also shit compared to the army. The Army let me pick my MOS and guaranteed it at MEPS I got to pick my duty station (option 19, talk to your recruiter with available duty stations) and I got a 7k bonus (i'm sure you can probably get more than I did) all under contract at MEPs which they made me look over like 10 times to see if everything i signed was correct.
I know this is an older video so I hope you still get this comment. First of all, thank you so much for your service. I’m a prior service Marine myself. 1371 Combat Engineer. I’m wondering if you can help me out a little bit. I’m considering re-enlisting into the Marine Corps with a lat move to the Intelligence field. I’ve already checked and I have the ASVAB scores to do so. What I would like to know is, what career opportunities are realistically there after life in Military Intelligence? Is this re-enlistment a potential stepping stone to a long and fruitful career or would I likely be looking at retiring from the military in order to find a good paying job. Thanks in advance and God Bless!
Hi. I don't plan on making the military a career but intelligence interests me as an International Relations major. Any thoughts?
Thanks for making this video, very informative! I'm looking into this MOS and appreciate the information.
I’m currently in the army now and want to switch to a 35 series. What 35 series would you see the coolest shit and do the coolest stuff my buddy’s a 35F and he never does anything cool currently my mos has too high of points and is boring so I wanna do something cool
hey man I really like the videos your a really chill guy I was wondering if you allowed to what tips can you give about taking the dlab
Im 35f you answered a lot of questions I didn't know I had
I was able to score just enough on the DLAB, I got a 98 when the minimum score required was a 95, and chose 35M, military intelligence collector, for my MOS. I leave on February 1st for my basic training at Fort Sill. Any other 35M here that can give me some insight on their experience? Or any tips before I go?
Im hoping to join 35M is there any study tips for the DLAB ? Thats what i need to take
@@monicasalinas3348 Hi, don’t know if you’ve taken the DLAB yet or not, but I recommend understanding english grammar and syntax very very well. And practice listening and PAYING ATTENTION TO DETAIL. Minor details matter
How did they teach you Russian? I doubt they said "here's your Rosetta stone login, goodluck" Was it just a lot of classroom type stuff and speaking to people who are fluent?
Sims B yes all your teachers are native speakers, its broken down into 7 hours a day... audio, reading, area studies, stuff like that
I am going into SIGINT is there anything i should study before going?
just go into it with an open mind, show up and shut up! They will teach you EVERYTHING you need to know, good luck to you!
How high would you say the stress level for this job was? I'm interested in this MOS because nothing else really is interesting me. However, it seems very intimidating to get into.
every job in the military has a high stress level, haha - but this one was very demanding, especially the year of language training.
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?
I do, yes. And they assign you a language based upon your language aptitude test results (DLAB) and current linguist needs of the military.
How did you like Texas?? Born and raised here for almost 30 years.
i’m a 35P who shipped out of roanoke too!
salute to you for your service, but your video became very confusing when you said intelligence and Canadian in the same sentence.
lawlz
Does being medically discharged from the military remove any veteran benefits? Such as the GI Bill, VA loans, etc
not at all, I still had my GI Bill/Post-9/11 Bill, VA Home Loan, etc. In fact, I had more medical and financial benefits due to the nature of my injury rating and being medically retired
I almost joined the marines when I was 19 but .....I even went to the recruiting office.
Didnt know you were from Roanoke! represent bro
I'm going to be 35m and I scored a 112 on DLAB. did you ever find out what you actually scored? 126 sounds hella impressive.
I just Enlisted as a 35P in the PA Army National Guard
They put me in Russian too! Going to DLI in about September or October
Is there anything that you can pass down to me to know from your experience
study study study! Do not be afraid to ask for help early.
Thanks for sharing. Though you hated school you have a lifetime skill! And if you have kids, teach them Russian! I am studying Polish (Class 4 like Russian) on my own. My father is fluent in Polish and did not pass it down to his children. It is a lot more challenging than Spanish!
Slavic languages are Cat 3 languages. Tough, but not as rough as Arabic, Korean, Chinese, or Japanese.
Hi Chase! I am currently in the DEP with 35P as my MOS! I was so relieved when I did well enough on the ASVAB and DLAB! I'm curious, did you get to fill out a wishlist for which language you wanted to learn? I have my BA in Arabic language, but also have a minor background in Russian. Ultimately, Russian or Arabic are my top wishes, but in the end it boils down to anything but Chinese (I just wouldn't be able to click with the language) -- anyway, were you given a wishlist, and if not will there be a way to push the facts I have experience and aptitude in Arabic and Russian? Thanks!
I had zero input when I went in, I don't know how they operate language selection these days.
Its purdy coool!
YoungFitness89 Snapchat awareness?!
Chase Chewning just did what you asked 😂
Only here because his brother is Maxx Chewning #EverForward
I know this may sound dumb but how hard is it actually learning a new language compared to the intimidation that you feel in your head
I was a USAF 14N out of the 25th AF,So if you were Crypto, you would have had a 13.5 clearance as the President is only a 17, growing up as a child on a Top Secret base my parent both were USAF R&D I've seen a lot of crazy stuff,but after the basic Military clearances with USAPS or SAPS there's a list of 28 numbered clearances, and each clearance could have an SAP or USAP connected, after the Numbered our or top named top programs, excluding Q clearance which is DOE because you need guys with all across the boards to fix power issues, because every project needs electricity, I'm pretty sure the guy online called Q had or has that clearance, but they did such a good job on me I cracked the whole top ten Programs all 10,not just the names but the key master of what each one are working on ,if you wanna see some mind-blowing shit ask me and ill send you some crazy sht it will change youre life,
How's the Security Clearance process like? Is it easy to pass or not?
Very long and not easy to pass
Ok so I'm leaving for bmt march 27 and I signed up as a ground linguist. After i'm done at the DLI I go back to goodfellow AFB for some more training, when exactly do I go through the SC? What makes it so difficult to pass, what type of things would disqualify someone? I've done my research but it's always good to know from folks who already went through the process. Thanks for the reply!
Hi I have a question:
I know that the military will assign a language based on what their needs are and your aptitude, but is it possible to request a specific language like Mandarin Chinese for example? How likely is it that they will give you a language you request?
You can request it, yes. But it is always based on the needs the military at the time and your DLAB score, unless you already speak a language and pass the DLPT for it.
Makes sense, thank you for the reply.
did you ever serve in ROK? i was 97B there from 01-04.
So when you were stationed at Lackland AFB were you assigned to Field Station Medina as a linguist?
What he didn't tell you was he spent most of his time mopping floors, CQ duty, Sarge's time and waiting for index on useless training exercises in the field or in a SCIF
definitely not MOST, but yeah there is always those types of tasks in the military I have realized from talking to all branches.
