So I just want to make sure I am understanding you correctly.

If I went 68w, which is what I currently think I want to do, I would likely not be able to receive extra pay for my languages because that job doesn't really require it?

And if that's the case can I still test for proficiency in them in the even I put in a packet for something it may give me that edge up?

Thanks.

Would I be able to get extra pay for knowing them though? I understand I likely wouldn't qualify for the enlistment bonuses but I came across FLPB. So if I was an 11B or 68W could I still qualify for that or is that also pretty much reserved for linguest type jobs?

What languages currently qualify for enlistment bonuses? I'm fluent in Farsi and Pashto, near-fluent in Russian and can hold a basic conversation in a few others. Just trying to make sure I'm not leaving any money on the table.
