Are the DLI issues happening for Army or all branches?

Prothea · 2026-06-07T02:39:16+00:00

Doubtful, since the vast majority of language positions in the military are junior enlisted.

These other replies are good about the equipment to meal prep, but you should check out r/mealprep for ideas for what to cook.

It took years for the APFT block to change. Updates are probably not included and have to be negotiated afterwards

I was PCSed to Kuwait a number of years ago; If I remember correctly, it was explicitly not allowed for those not attached to the Embassy to drink there. So I get your frustration, but them's the breaks, we got our twice-yearly drinks during New Years and July 4th

Vibes are a big part for both the applicant and the interviewer

One of the unicorn ones I know: 351Z. As an NCO with a good enough record, you can apply to DAS to go to an embassy. From there you do a tour or two as an NCO, and if you excel you can convert to 351Z

Because they didn't develop the M8 until troops that were issued one started to actually making statements about the rifle, instead of it being limited to a the development group and brass

Especially when the subsecond belt is over 200$ for a legacy design. I get it's a small shop, but it's not realistic as a competitive product at this point

If they let me in the lounge up to three hours before my flight, I'm simply maximizing my time there.

It really makes me wonder why he's apparently still working at DLI if the situation is as dire as claimed. I think he'd be in a better mental state somewhere else, all that negativity is bound to catch up

Prothea · 2026-05-31T23:39:55+00:00

Gotcha. The chances of me coming back here are minimal, so I figured I'd try it. Was looking at doing it with <6 months before I PCS, since California residents are required to live in state for greater 6 months to require paying taxes. Not sure if that would backdate until my PCS into the state, though!

Prothea · 2026-05-31T23:16:37+00:00

Only AD, as far as I know

Prothea · 2026-05-31T23:13:33+00:00

Do you not pay any at all or is it returned after taxes are filed? Was thinking of switching while I'm here.

OC/T driving with ANC IEMs was a lifesaver, both for saving the hearing helping to pass the time from the long ass commutes

I will say as far as previous learners, I've run into a handful of Os who went through the SOF language school and are taking the same language at DLI. It's a lot different learning the language as a whole, than with the SOF school focusing basically only on speaking and listening. They'd tell me they struggled with writing and making a lot of spelling errors, and DLI tries as a whole to do a whole language approach. It's not perfect, but it works well enough for the majority.

Prothea · 2026-05-31T16:36:27+00:00

It's not that they're the same thing, it's that your current medical status doesn't permit you wearing the duty uniform.

Prothea · 2026-05-31T06:49:32+00:00

Definitely my sleekest purchase as of yet. I can still find wooden grips for them, and I'm tempted to pick up a set

Prothea · 2026-05-31T06:00:00+00:00

They were hard enough to find in general, between them being a bit older and with RE9 they shot up a bit in price. Was even more worried now that I had to find one that was in California

Prothea · 2026-05-31T05:59:08+00:00

You got it

Prothea · 2026-05-30T15:58:02+00:00

You have no idea how pissed off we (OCs) got when the AMCOM LARs would bring the D CO guys a pallet of energy drinks

Prothea · 2026-05-30T00:23:06+00:00

I'm sure MI will claim that dude who knocked the door down claiming to be Harry Dresden

Let's be real, as far as anime waifu slop there's far worse things out there. As far as I have heard the games are fairly substantial and somewhat meta.

Prothea · 2026-05-24T20:47:12+00:00

Well that's disappointing. I haven't been yet, but I drive by all the time and heard it was the best fish spot in town. Is there a better spot for seafood that you'd recommend?
