I am reenlisting/reclassing from 11B to 35P. I see there are several languages understrength. Will I get any precedence on language choice?

You should be able to have a specific language written into your contract.

Thanks for the swift reply. I'm hoping that when I reenlist, I can be given a list of available class dates that correspond with the language choices and I can choose from that.
Thanks again,

When a language is under strength, they tend to overcompensate with recruitment and points will be max for a few years after that. Just keep that in mind if they let you choose your language -under strength now means over strength soon.

When I first enlisted, I was a 98G (now a 35P). After taking the DLAB, they told me the category of language I was able to take. I was given Mandarin Chinese and talked with the NCOs there and was able to switch my language to Modern Standard Arabic. I don't know if you are able to pick, especially as a reclass. I would talk to the Career Councilor and Branch and they should be able to help.
