I am a senior in high school thinking about joining the navy next year. If I good, I would like to learn to speak Arabic. I was born in America and have no criminal background. I have decent grades and scored a 99 on the AFQT. Are there any other hurdles to becoming an Arabic linguist?
P.S. I wouldn't be too upset if I had to study something besides Arabic. But I've heard Arabic is in high demand for the military.

I also took two years of Spanish.

Also, are there any sites I can practice the DLAB?

there is no way you can practice/study for the DLAB. the audio portion of the test is a made up language.
all you can do is make sure you know grammar, syntax and sentance structure cold.
What language you get as a CTI is partly based on your DLAB score and partly based on what classes are starting up when you show up to DLI.

If you have a serious interest in Arabic, you should definitely pursue it. Specifically Navy? I am not sure. However, everyone from the CIA to the State Department will be interested in those skills. Good luck!

You have to take the dlab, If you do too well, they'll put you in the Korean school.
