I was looking at the ACT Career Map for 35F and saw for 35F20 under functional training, linguist is listed. Do you have to go through a certain school in order to get the L identifier or can you get it by showing proficiency in a foreign language? I was briefed that cultural and language proficiency would be more stressed for professional development in the future for those working in the intel world, so I am trying to get ahead of this early. I speak Spanish and am currently going through some civilian classes for Arabic, but as in most things in the military, it doesn't count unless you go through their program.

You need to take an FLPT (foreign language proficiency test) and turn the results into your S1. There are certain languages you can get a pay bonus for but some of them are like airborn qualification in that you need to be attached to a unit where that language is desired. The level at which you get paid for your proficiency also correlates to how well you do on your FLPT.

SSG (Join to see) - I don't think Spanish will get it for you but i know Arabic will, i believe 2/2+ in reading and writing is $300/Month at the moment. If you have your FLPT score results, taking them to your S1 will allow them to put the results into eMilpo and update your ERB.

SSG (Join to see) - Yea i would wait until you know you can score at least that 2/2+ because i believe the last time i did anything with one, you have to wait 6 months between tests.
