![]() Phase one can’t leave base at all and has to be in by 10? on the weekdays and 12? on the weekends. Leaving base and curfew depends on your phase. Don’t let games distract you from your studies.ĥ) All of what I know of this is pre-Covid, so it may be different now. Word of warning though, make sure you have good self control. You will have plenty of room for your personal belongings, so it’s ok to bring a PC/Console. You cannot drive to class though.Ĥ) Yes you have to share a dorm for your entire time at DLI. (You’ll also be popular with people who don’t have cars.) Parking is fine, you register your car with the base police office and can park at the dorms. It will open up a lot of opportunities for recreation. I believe the likelihood goes up depending on your language, but I am only familiar with Korean.ģ)You can and absolutely should bring your car. Sometimes that’s a new language, sometimes it’s out of the career field.ġ) You can absolutely be stationed overseas as a 1N3. All first term Airmen CAN apply to cross train. They may have changed that back, a recruiter or newer linguist would know. Back in the 2010-2012 time frame they made all linguists sign for 6. But the overarching thing of 4 vs 6 may not be up to you. Low 100k was once the going rate overseas, in places like Iraq or Afghanistan, but I doubt that it pays that well anymore. Depending on language and duty location this likely starts somewhere between the mid 40k to mid 60k, may go up with better language scores or a high cost of living area. COVID and local laws almost certainly changed all of that.Ħ) After a few years as a 1N3, getting a contracting job isnt out of the question. On weekends we could travel a few hours if we wanted. There were curfews depending on your phase. Bring a PC, lots of people do.ĥ) long ago, deep in the mists of history, we could leave post after class. Sometimes they’ll be further ahead of you and will move out, leaving a vacancy for a short time. You’ll thank yourself after not having to walk up Franklin hill to the “800’s buildings” from MontyĤ) You will likely have a roommate your entire time there. But here’s the fun thing, the AF considers Alaska and Hawaii overseas, and will keep you overseas sometimes.Ģ) I don’t have a good answer for you here.ģ) Yes. Russians can go to Alaska and Chinese linguists to Hawaii. Arab linguists have some spots in Germany. It’s possible, just unlikely with some languages. Thanks in advance if you can answer any of these questions.ġ). I don’t have a good answer, it just seemed like a fun job.) ( You might be asking why I would choose to be a linguist when my career interests are so different. Here is the big open ended question: Does anyone have opinions on other areas to cross-train into after 1n3 that would open doors to better paying jobs outside the military? For some background, I studied math in college, and some of my career interests are in computer science, intelligence, and data analysis. On the flip side, if I enjoy it, I can definitely see myself being open to reenlisting. After classes, is there any restriction on leaving the base, or a curfew? And is travel outside of Monterey allowed on the weekends?Ħ) These are a few intentionally open-ended questions: what kinds of well-paying jobs are realistic after a minimum of 4 years as a 1N3? I chose a 4 yr contract because an extra 2 yrs isn’t worth $10,000 if i end up hating the job for some reason. ![]() I understand that class is 8 hours a day not including homework. What’s the parking situation like on base?Ĥ) As a single airman, do you have to share a dorm room for the entirety of DLI? Also, is it wise to bring a pc/ console when considering the space of the dorms?ĥ) TRAVEL. Is there any way to pay for your own internet service?ģ) Can you bring a car to DLI? I don’t live far from Monterey at all, and I could easily have my family drop my car off here. I’ve also heard the internet in the dorms is shit. Are students just attending online classes in their dorm? 1n3x1 duty stationsĢ) How is DLI learning during lockdown? I’ve heard a lot of class is online, and I was wondering how that works, exactly. What is the likelihood of that happening as an 1N3? I found an online list of duty stations, and wanted to check its accuracy with someone who might currently be in the job. I know some of them won’t matter until way later, but I have a few questions.ġ) I would very much like to be stationed overseas at some point. Don’t know my language yet but really REALLY hoping for Mandarin. After that I’m going to DLI (Defense Language Institute ) as a ground cryptologic language analyst/ linguist. Currently in Air Force DEP, off to basic in less than a month.
