Fesoferbex- Good to meet you man. I was there from 15 feb '10- sept '10. Best time of my life though. I figure they should have done linguist training at like Goodfellow or Offut AFB so you didn't have shit to distract you from your homework. Monterey had waaaay too much to do. And, no matter how late I might be, CONGRATS on making it through the course. I'm always really impressed with the people who were able to make it. Especially if you made it on your first try. And PLEASE tell me you had Compagnos! Probably the best thing about DLI.
And if you're floating out in the Centcom AOR, then I'm probably doing weather forecasts for you or near you, depending on where you are.
USAF_S2k- I have a few friends like that. One of the was a native polish speaker, so they pulled her from Arabic to put her in Russian. She currently gets paid for both. And she's trying to re-language to French, so that will be a 3rd one she gets paid for. I pretty jealous of those people. Not even for the money. I just wish I could speak a 2nd language fluently. But I only made it 7 months into school, so I basically sound like an idiot when I speak. But I can still hold a crappy conversation. But no one pays me to do it. haha

Really? What language? Spanish? I dont remember anyone else going to lackland except them. That was my primary afsc when I came in, but like so many others, I failed out of DLI. I got the min qualifying score on the DLAB so I was cat 1. Somehow wound up in a cat 4 language. Figure that one out. Anyway, nice to meet you.
which cat4 did u get? chinese, korean?
i got like a 102 on the dlab so i got cat1 too :/

But, I'm still here. Made it through their 2 attempts to kick me out. "Resiliency" hua. Lmao. Big AF and their imaginary words...
And fesoferbex, I plan on going back to Monty for a reunion tour so if and when that ever happens, I'll be sure shoot you a pm! I'm not opposed to taking another tour of Southern Cali. I miss that state. It's so much nicer than Michigan. Haha

If you were in es-pag-nole then you had to be 311th. And if you were there in that time frame, then to some extent you HAVE to know my best friend, Barrientos. He was the red rope for quite a while. Really short dude. Awesome as hell. What's your last name? I knew a lot of random people across the post so we may have bumped into each other at some point. I lived in 841 on the 2nd floor while I was there. I hung out with Roman Monroe from time to time. You've probably met him, seeing as how you probably work together. Lol. We probably partied on the px patio at some point. lol. I met a ton of people there every weekend.
