Is it in accordance with TRADOC Regulation 350-6 that 35Ms, post-completion of MOS training, are still considered IET status while at DLI?

That could depend upon the situation. Also check pages 113 and 114 in the linked copy.

Probably yes.

You are IET until you reach your first duty assignment

Is learning the foreign language a requirement for your MOS? If it is, then until you have completed DLI, you are NOT MOSQ and therefore still fall under IET status. Why is this a concern? Are you not getting certain freedoms and liberties that others are getting? If that is the case, then may I suggest you NOT worry about what others are doing/getting and just focus on your training.

You are considered IET status until you have been to your first duty station. MOS status is irrelevant, at least back in 2009 when I left the Army after 3 years as a Platoon SGT in C Co

My daughter went through this a couple of years ago. Yes, you are in IET status throughout DLI and through the follow-on course at San Angelo. She spent nearly 3 years on IET. Sucks a lot but it's just part of the deal.

You are IET until you compete ALL of your training and get orders assigning you to a duty station. I have known people to fail their language and receive an ELS. So yes... You are IET

Depends on what you're asking about. As a Mike, I think you have to complete DLI to actually be MOSQ. Otherwise you have to complete a different 35 specialty

Considering some of the stories I've heard about that place, it might be a good thing to be on lock down with some supervision...

PFC Private RallyPoint Member TR 350-6 Appx D-1 c (1) Therefore, DLIFLC is not considered an AIT. MOS 35P and MOS 35M Soldiers remain in IET status until successful completion of both DLIFLC and AIT.

I gave the reference so you can check it out in the regulation you are quoting from.

Instead of trying to justify being a careerist(MOS-T for big Army), you should probably find specific reasons why you want privileges that careerist have and be able to justify them. The only difference between 35M and 35P is that if a SM fails their language; as a 35P the SM is no longer a 35P. Therefore, the MOS training is after whereas for 35M it is before.

There is a lot more to the military than not having a battle buddy and being able to drink. I get this question on a daily basis, so I'm not surprised to find it here. Try to explain the whole situation, give me the risks, benefits and other detailed information. I have no problem bringing it up through the chain of command, but I have yet to get a good reason why 35M should be careerists.

I just graduated DLI as a careerist and by the verbiage in the policy on DLI, by all technicality the 35Ms who had graduated AIT were careerists as they had completed all mandatory training for their MOS requirements. Until now that is. Since we are now a language dependent MOS once again, that will change and the 35Ms will be IET until completion of DLI AND AIT as they are both now mandatory to be MOS qualified. We were in a gray area for a really long time when they removed our language dependency away. Expect things while you are in to not always go the way you think they should but understand it's no difference than in the civilian work force. As a DLI student you have an amazing opportunity the vast majority in the military will never get to have. Take that opportunity and deal with the difficult parts in stride.

Yes no.

Depending on the length of your language training. Howe. You still have to go BACK through Phase IV, Phase V, and Phase V+. Why. Because you are still considered a trainee by Mother Army, it does not matter what 350-6 says or does not say. You are still a Private, I highly suggest you listen to,the leadership there as to what you can or cannot so.

In the meantime, you need to focus on graduating Huachuca first.

Don’t worry about that crap. Focus on your training and get through it. There is plenty of time for all that stuff after you get MOSQ
