Depends on the language you can speak. If it's a language associated with our adversaries (Chinese, Korean, Arabic, Russian), something involving intelligence.
How's your computer skills? Maybe something involving decryption/deciphering messages sent electronically.
If the language you speak is associated with a friendly nation, you might be tasked with something a bit less glamorous.
The main drive in getting the jobs is a need for speakers in whatever language is needed. All military branches have a hard need for Arabic speakers presently.

A bunch of different options. Pretty much anything you would do in the civilian world involving multiple languages you can do in the military...
Medical
Clerical
Transportation
Supply
Logisitics
Intelligence....the list could go on and on and on...
Do what you already know or find something you're passionate about. The sky's the limit!!

before you even think about the airforce. make sure there is absolutly no other way that you can go, Job wise for speaking another languege.. I am in the airforce. stationed at luke.. the military is not all that its put out to be............just to help you out.....even if you speak a different language its not gaurenteed that the language you speak is needed, now your stuk in the military for 4 or 6 years depending on your enlistment signing. and will never even get to do your job..............they have a list when you go to the recruters office of languages that are needed in the military, get that list and if you speak it cool. but they dont pay you alot of money............best way to go into any branch is as an officer...heed my warning, go in as an officer, they get paid much better and from what i heard they have no enlistment settings..meaning you can get out when you damn well please.
DO THE RESEARCH, KNOW YOUR INS AND OUTS.
and dont let them get you in on anything other then what you want to come in for.......the recruters are like fu**in car sales men. no joke.................also from personal experiance............
THE MILITARY SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You can apply to be a linguist, if you do well on the defense language aptitude battery. You'd receive intensive language training, and then spend a lot of time listening to radio transmissions and reporting on what you heard.

They are known as Linguists. They usually translate messages from or for other countries. It, obviously, depends on the language you choose as to which country/countries you translate for.

It's called a "linguist" but they are only looking for certain languages.
