For any Spanish-speaking 35Ms, what was your experience like at DLI?

Any 35M's out there that got Spanish for DLI? Was wondering what your experience may have been/be like? Much appreciated

I went to DLI many moons ago to learn Spanish - I was already familiar with German and Thai. I wanted Chinese or Korean, but the Army gods chose Spanish for me. That said, I do not expect that you will be billeted with the SF guys like I was, but from what I recall - those with good language skills were able to spend a lot of time at the beach while those that had troubles had to spend more time studying. Be sure to take some time to see the sites out there too/ lots to do and see; I suspect that hasn't changed. And if you get airborne school written into your contract, I'm certain you will spend some time at Bragg.

Opportunities for airborne at DLI*
Unfortunately I already signed and swore in at Meps. Just waiting on my official swear in and sign at meps before I ship. Not super bummed about not getting airborne, but if I ever got the opportunity I would absolutely take it. I’m in good shape so I will be working hard to get a slot if they ever tell me one would be available based on pt scores.
