Well, we don't always send linguists to learn the entire culture but we do spend some time in training them to speak a given language. Of course, German and Italian are not exactly the most critical of languages that we're looking for. The Army has more linguists and uses them more than the other services just because we're bigger. All services have intelligence MOSs that require a language or where its at least highly encouraged.
As far as the the Navy, Marines, and AF, I'm not sure of their actual MOS designations but you can find out by going to their respective recruiting websites.
As for the Army the two MOSs you're most likely interested in are 97E and 98G. While other MI MOSs may speak a languages these are the two primary specialties that we use.

Having just left the military as a "CT" (Cryptologist) I can answer this one. Army, Air force, and Navy all have specific "Intelligence" fields (MOS's), that do similar work. However having a specific MOS does not mean that will be your job. The Navy for example has an MOS "CTT" but there are several different jobs within this. "IS" in the Navy stands for "intelligence specialist", you may do just the job you described, or be on an aircraft carrier, or on
P-3's, or work with special forces, or NSA, or be buried in a bunker under a mountain in Colorado.

at the start, you wont could desire to rigidity approximately try against with that MOS, you would be sitting in a cubical someplace lots of the time, whether you do get deployed, sorry to disappoint you. The deployment length for Marines is 7-9 months mutually as the army's are many times 12. however, you would be on a base which you will discover especially effective (in all possibility do no longer anticipate to be ingesting McDonalds for lunch in Afghanistan, yet till you have a try against orientated MOS you would be). the army has plenty extra beneficial technologies at their disposal and a extra comfortable ecosystem than the Marine Corps. even with the undeniable fact that, your generic Marine gets extra try against education then your conventional soldier. lower back even with the undeniable fact that, with an intelligence MOS that wont remember. If i replaced into going to get a non-try against MOS i could chosen military. As on your different questions: the advantages from the two branches would be a similar, as with the different interest from the government, even with the undeniable fact that the army's generic of residing on-base would be a sprint extra beneficial as they are extra beneficial funded. The Marine Corps has MCMAP (marine corps martial artwork software) yet focuses extra often than not on grappling so as which could no longer somewhat help you with boxing. Im unsure what the army has. Marines have a great volume of delight for being a Marine. Its uncommon that ive seen military stickers on someones vehicle, yet I see an eagle globe and anchor very often, even even with the undeniable fact that the army is plenty extra beneficial. Dont cheese dick something interior the militia, in case you place out attempt you will advance above others quickly. maximum individuals lose motivation quickly as quickly as they enter.

Linguists are only given instruction in the language, and that is nowehre near native fluency. There are no enlisted speicalties whose sole purpose is to do what you are asking. Individuals on Embassy duty or tasked with being a Protocol Officer may get some in depth tarining, but nothing immersion.

An intelligence agent must be master of everything but expert in a certain country.
