Hello,
I plan on going into the Navy or the Airforce as a Crytologic Linguist of some sort... I'm not sure whether I should go for the Air Force or the Navy, are there any major differences between the two as far as a Linguistics position goes? Any Advice
If you are in a linguistics position in the Navy or Air Force or if you know someone who is I would LOVE to hear from you! U could e-mail me at treehugger_17@yahoo.com (or just answer if u'd prefer...)
Otherwise I'd appreciate any advice/info and/or comments/opinions...
Thanks so much for taking the time to read/write my Q/A. : )

everybody goes to DLI in Monterey. each Branch, however,has different missions and different language requirements.
in the Navy, you can also be attached to an aviation unit. remember that plane that was shot down and spent a few days visiting China a few years back? there were CTIs among the crew.

still being Navy, that's what I would go with. Every branch has it's ups and downs. The mentor program for Navy is great and there is a lot of traveling. I came in single and am now married and my husband is in Japan right now. Some of his battalion is in South Korea, San Clemente, and other parts of Japan. There are also people from my base on deployment to Kuwait, Afghanistan, the Bahamas, Africa, Spain, and leaving next week for Iraq. If you did decide Navy and you are willing to fight, but don't want to be on the front lines, there is the Seabee's. It's a construction battalion where we go overseas to rebuild or in homeport we help out with rebuilding things down here that were destroyed in Katrina. Deployment is 6 months and homeport is being changed the beginning of next year to 12 months. I can't tell you a lot about the Air Force since I don't know anyone in that branch, but I know they do have the same program. Good luck with your decision.

Go Air Force - want to be stuck on a ship for 6 months?? Kidding - lol.
Either way, I think that the tech school for that is like a year long. And, it's apparently VERY difficult. When I was going through Air Force tech school (electronics) my roommate had washed out of linguist school. It would probably be a lot easier if you already knew the language. Good luck

Looks like the services all share the same school. Not uncommon in the military.

Do Navy... Air Force flies planes, we fly planes off ships.
Which sounds cooler?
