haha good luck relaxin in jackson (not really, but be glad you don't have to go to the hell that is fort leonard wood in winter). you should get an email about halfway through basic telling you which language you got, if you actually manage to get a computer and check your email at basic (which i doubt). if you have any questions about dli/basic (dunno how accurate my answers about basic will be) just ask and ill be more than happy to help.
nope, but i hope to at some point. that's where the 35m (human intelligence collector) school is, which i want to attend some day. it's also the headquarters of military intelligence.

Yeah, I got lucky with the ship date. One month earlier, freezing cold. One month later, blistering heat =). I have a couple questions I can think of immediately for DLI, BCT my recruiters have talked my ear off about what to expect.
I read that soldiers are able to "trade" languages with another if they don't end up with one they want. Can you tell me more about the process and if it is a viable way for getting the language you want?
How soon after Basic did you report to DLI? I have heard that it is immediately after, i.e. you get on a plane the same day you graduate Basic. I graduate on a Thursday and my family is considering making a weekend trip of it if I am to report the following Monday.
Kind of an odd question here, but is enclosed storage/parking available for your POV? I'm considering a 73 Mustang (cliche Private move, I know) and would not be able to leave it outside.
Thanks for your time (if what I hear is true, free time is quite valuable there), I'll post again if I think of anything else!
