![]() It's possible in the future you could receive even more language training and become more proficient. Nevertheless, it's still a valid option so I listed it.ģ8B - Civil Affairs - Yet another MOS that gets some language training, but it's jammed into only 20 weeks which means you won't be fully proficient. The only issue being is, 0+/0+ is not even considered passing for a true linguist (2/2 is considered the minimum), where the numbers assigned reflect the ability to read/listen in the target language. Upon completion of the arduous training already required, you will then be given about 6 months of language training and be required to be proficient to at least a 0+/0+ level. This option will allow you to enlist in the military and go through infantry training, and eventually become a member of the Green Berets (Special Forces). This would be for someone whose family moved to the United States from Iraq and they speak Arabic as their first language.ġ8X - Special Forces Enlistment Option - This is a difficult option and doesn't exactly make you a great linguist. This is not a job that someone that learned Spanish, for example, in college would apply for. Your entire job is to use your fluency in your primary language to interpret for the military. The job requires a TS/SCI clearance and the majority of the information about the MOS is classified.Ġ9L - Interpreter / Translator - If you natively speak a Middle Eastern language such as Arabic, Farsi, Kurdish, etc, this job could be for you. With this job you are usually using your language to interpret foreign language intercepted transmissions. ![]() 35P is language dependent, meaning you MUST be a linguist to hold this job title.

Well I can tell you my preference is obviously 35M, because that's what I am. Now that you have successfully navigated the DLAB as well as filled out your security questionnaire, you probably want to know what job you should choose to be a linguist in the Army, right? Despite my best efforts and collaboration with other NCOs, I am sometimes wrong and you shouldn't base your enlistment/re-enlistment solely on what I have to say, but rather use this information as a base for your research. All information presented should be double-checked with your CLPM and Retention NCO/Recruiter, or double-checked in the Army Regulation or message provided. ![]() Whatever my opinions are on here are not to be considered the opinions of the Army, or even considered fact.
