NavyDEP - View Single Post - Couple of questions about CTI Language/Interpretive

Cain · 02-07-2017, 08:54 AM

I was talking with a friend who was former Navy (just released a year ago or so), and he told me that because my wife is Chinese (non U.S. Citizen, Green Card resident), and because I am going to China this Summer for an Internship, that it could cause serious difficulties for me when trying to go for this rate (I was recommended this rate around 3 months ago, because of my proficiency with Chinese). I was just wondering if anybody here knows if that is true?

Also, the DLAB is what you take if you have no experience with other languages, to test your aptitude for learning a new one, correct? So the DLPT is what you take to see if your proficiency is well enough with a certain language to join, right?

So, if I were to score high for the DLPT, I would spend less time at Monterey, in theory?

Thanks for any help, just wanted some answers from people who are actually in, cause I just have a thing about trusting recruiters, I know it is their job, and I know a great deal of them are honest, just had bad experiences with several over the years.

Thank you for you time, and have a great day Sirs/Madams.
