Assuming that I pass the Defense Language Aptitude Battery, can I reenlist for DLI?

SSG (Join to see) Thanks for the input. Tracking it is not possible for a Lima to attend DLI straight out of the school house. My question is whether or not it is a reenlistment option.

No, DLI is not a reenlistment option. It would need to be tied to a reclass SSG (Join to see)

Option 3 guarantees, for qualified Soldiers, attendance at an available service school of choice for PMOS, skill qualification identifier, additional skill identifier or language training -OR- airborne training for Soldiers possessing a PMOS listed in applicable RETAIN message for award of skill qualification identifier “P. (Reenlistment Obligation 3-6 year period).

I reenlisted for DLI without reclassing, as did at least three other 35Ms (that I can think of off the top of my head). You would have to pick a language the Army needs at that time. The Strategic Language List should indicate which languages those are.

35M here. I went to DLI straight out of AIT, passed, then reenlisted for DLI (different language). So yes, it is possible to reenlist for DLI, but as others have said, there are a lot of qualifying factors

According to DA PAM 611-21, 35Ls can obtain the L (Linguit) SQI. Therefore, 35L should be able to reenlist for DLI? Or am I misinterpeting the reg?
