Has anyone had the chance to work for them as a linguist?

SGT Private RallyPoint Member, I have not worked for DTRA as a linguist, but I have supported DTRA and their mission in the past. I have also known a couple linguists who did work for DTRA. They seemed to enjoy it for the most part. You need to be ready to travel a fair bit, but that is usually not a problem for us, is it? The opportunity is definitely there: DTRA needs Russian linguists.

Here's a six-year-old article about this topic, which seems old, but I know the requirement and the opportunity still exist.

SPC,
Rumblings around the linguist community about working at DTRA have been overwhelmingly positive and there is heavy language use there. Also, it's great for career progression as a linguist. If it's something you are interested in, contact your PDNCO and have him put you down as a volunteer. It's a nominative position, so they they will reach out and contact qualified people when they need someone. You can also look at their website (http://www.dtra.mil/) for some basic information about the agency.
