![]() And that is the only reason why I started venturing into airborne field.to see if it is something manageable. (Although I would like to be a Korean linguist, I am still open to Cantonese or Mandarine linguist) I was recently told by an airborne linguist that I would be picked up in a fly, especially with my DLPT scores, if I requested to be an airborne. They told me that there was no opening for 1N3X4, and that's why my request was denied. But when my first retraining request for 1N3XX as a FTA was denied, I found out that there is quite an overage of ground linguists while there was a shortage of airborne linguists. When I first started my research and preparation for retraining, I was quite set on being a ground linguist because I suspected that airborne would spend a lot more time away from home. I know I would've definitely have gone for 1A8XX in my younger and single days, but now that I am married, I don't want be gone all the time. But in general, how many days would you say you spend away from home as an airborne crypto linguist? I'm sure it all depends on where you are and what language you specialize in. I am curious about 1A8XX's deployment/TDY tempo. I am not exactly sure what that means, especially the OPI score, but I am told that my scores are not too shabby. As a part of my retraining preparation, I took lower/upper DLPT and OPI 6 months ago. I already possess native-level Korean reading, writing, listening and speaking abilities. Thank you for your time, and I hope to hear from you soon. Which career field would you recommend? Ground or Airborne? And why? Please do reflect YOUR OWN perspective on the matter. I would truly appreciate any and all input. I was so ecstatic when I found this forum and ran searches everywhere to get some clues, but that didn't prove fruitful neither. And my attempt at gaining some insight by joining Air Force Portal COP for "1N3 & 1A8" was shut down since the moderator would not grant me access. I have an appointment to meet with the base career adviser, but I doubt he can be any more helpful than the actual linguists I've talked to. I talked to couple of linguists on base, and they weren't too helpful as they were tight-lipped about their daily routines due to very obvious job nature: top secret intelligence stuff.
