How do I schedule a DLPT?
I am thinking of studying a language in order to get the Foreign Language Proficiency Bonus. The latest Strategic Language List I could find (dated 13 November 2019) mentions Kirghiz as an "Emerging Language Authorized for all PMOS/Branches.
However, I cannot find any documentation on how to schedule and take a DLPT, once I have learned a language. The documentation regarding Kirghiz language proficiency is even more limited. My fear of that I will take the time to study something and then be unable to capitalize on my success.
Can anyone provide insight, documentation or at least some advice on how to schedule a DLPT once proficiency in a language? Offhandedly if anyone knows if there is even a test for Kirghiz I would like to know that as well. Thanks!!

DLPTs are scheduled at a military education and testing center, it's a DOD test so you can take it at any branch education center.
You aren't going to get paid for a language unless you're a 2/2 speaker and reader, that means you are functionally fluent in the language. To give you an idea of what that means, people who attend the Defense Language School for a year, eight hours a day, fully immersed in the language with no English spoken in the classroom, are only expected to reach a 2/2 after 12-15 months in the course. Studying an obscure language for 1-2 years might not be worth the investment in time
