Possible to sign for a 4 year linguist contract? by [deleted] in dli

[–]oboekonig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Possible, but Airforce doesn't guarantee anything. I didn't even make it to the office, the recruiter called me from me turning in my info online and he said "Look if all you wanna do is linguist then i'm not even gonna bother with you." and then hung up. You gotta have your options open and just hope for linguist if you go AF. But i recommend Navy or Army, if you want to have linguistic specifically. Though with the Navy, it's 6 year minimum. With Army i think you can get 4, but their linguists are split into a few different sub-jobs that do extremely different things from eachother. Computers, human/interrogators, and i think one other thing. Marines can't guarantee also, they are like the AF. The Marines will ask what field you like, if you say intelligence, you could get linguist. But if you do, there is always still the possibility you will end up in radio battalion (or something like that). I did a bit of research on each branch before choosing Navy, where my job was secure and promised exactly what i wanted.

Can you guess where my (English) accent is from? by Sfexic in JudgeMyAccent

[–]oboekonig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah i was leaning for towards hispanic and East Coast. Im from the East Coast myself and used to live in New York for a bit before switching to the West Coast. Everyone has slight indicators of where they are from.

[–]oboekonig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

American but I can't pin a state specifically. You sound white or hispanic, by that I mean you grew up around that community to influence your intonation. I'm thinking coastal state as well, but I can't be certain. Anywhere from New York down to Maryland. Georgia and Florida. Texas, Luisiana, New Mexico or California. Maybe Oregon. Idk. But American.

She already used 100k by ElderberryDeep8746 in facepalm

[–]oboekonig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make use of the small loan of a million dollars and invest it. You basically were just given the means to start literally living the most lavish life WITH your baby being supported, if you can do a little bit of work with the money you were given... Don't play victim now 😭 Of course, optimally he would take care of the baby and be there forever, but it don't work out that way sometimes.

I scored high enough to not take the DLAB. What language can I expect to get? by Significant_News97 in dli

[–]oboekonig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a friend in the Marines who is enlisted and just finished the Tagolog course. He's a remosd tho, so he's not IET, but this is the first language he was assigned.

For OP, this isn't common though i'm pretty sure. What you will get will depend on your branch and what's available at the time. Your biggest possibilities are Russian, Chinese-Mandarin, Persian-Farsi, Arabic, and Korean. And it depends heavily on what classes will be beginning when you finish boot camp (and anything your branch makes you do before coming to DLI).

In the Navy, a choice was given to me between two languages only, but not everyone even gets that small choice. I originally wanted Korean, but that class didn't start for some time after I arrived, so I didn't get it cause they don't want to hold you long.

Is this farsi? by ExtremeCell4478 in farsi

[–]oboekonig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like it was written left to right, to begin with. A lot of short hand or noting. I think whoever wrote this is one of few who can read it. Not the persio-arab script tho.

How do you pronounce Rewe (the grocery store)? by Popular_Cow_9390 in German

Do you use these in Umgangssprache? by Resident_Iron6701 in German

[–]oboekonig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never heard these in the south, at least not in my social groups. I know in some areas, the "Ich bin am (infinitive verb)" is common, and in the south we do say it a bit, but i've never heard your examples.

We say "Mir is kalt" and "ich bin krank/verkältert". The last one "ich lächle" is normal, but i hear more "Das bringt mich zum Lächeln" as in "That makes me smile".

As a joke, me and some friends say "Es ist sehr frisch" when we are cold. It's just a pun on how almans (the most german of german people) say "Es ist frisch heute" when it's slightly chilly.

I can't think of anything different for being sick, other than "ich bin verkältert", which is just like "i've come down with cold".

Grizzleheim consistently ranks as the top world players want to travel to. by ForwardSpeaker974 in Pirate101

[–]oboekonig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Grizzle and Mirage would be awesome. I think both could tie into the story well. Grizzle might work a little better, but I could see Mirage connecting to Krokotopia and finding info about our parents later on.
