If a 38B already has at least a 2/2 DLPT in a immediate investment or emerging language, are they still retrained into another language?

Depends on operational need. Each CA unit has a geographical alignment, so they may well train you in something else... which isn't a bad thing, by the way.

If you are talking about Active Duty CA, you will be sent to advanced language training at SWC for your current language if it’s one of the core languages taught there.

So when I went through, my CLANG at the Q course was Arabic. But somewhere along the ways, right before the course started, they said "if anyone would like to change their CLANG and believes they can score over a 2 in said language, speak up now".... So that's how I went from Arabic to Spanish. Best decision ever. SOCSOUTH is the nuts.

Absolutely, the course at bragg can't teach you to be better than a 2, so we can't teach native speakers to be better, so we give them another language to cover more ground. Spanish speakers typically get Portuguese, French get Arabic, etc... they try to coincide with which BN you will go to.
