Thanks Mr. Springer! I hope to be making that video soon!

AIT at Goodfellow will depend on your language. It goes from 6 weeks to 16 weeks depending on your language. Unfortunately, AIT at Goodfellow is too short for the family to come and everyone to live together, so she stayed behind and I came here to AIT. Luckily time flies by pretty quick!

I’m graduating from BCT tomorrow (at FLW). I’m gonna be in Monterey this Friday (I’m a 35M). It’s a fucking ride man. Just get trough basic. My company: D 2-10

@@DevinPeralSmith ayyyy d 210

@@DevinPeralSmith do you know DS murcia??

@@BOBBYSsREVENGE Nah. They must be a new drill. I’ve checked the company Facebook page a few times since graduating, and all of my Drills have left the trail

Goodfellow sucks fucks now, especially for those in the army

Thanks Johnson! Hope all is going well at DLI as well!

Is the school hard?

I was told for the prior enlisted it would be a lump sum upon arrival at duty station. For first contract it was half and then they split the remainder.

Really? That’s awesome haha thanks for watching!

I saw other soldiers get airborne while at DLI. I’ve heard NCOs at DLI say that it’s way easier while under TRADOC to get sent to airborne or to send a packet for things like Ranger, Special Forces, etc than while you’re at a duty station.

To clarify, my orders say DLIFLC

You will definitely go to AIT after DLI, and the 35P AIT is at Goodfellow. You won’t be MOS qualified at DLI, they only teach the language.

Depends on what you want to do. If you like being out in the field than 35M is more likely to do that. If you want to work in an office 35P is more likely to do that. 35P is generally about translating incoming audio/writing, whereas 35M generally work with people directly.

I can’t speak for the Air Force, as none of my classmates that were Air Force were married at the time. Army wasn’t allowed to live off post, so I wasn’t able to live with my wife.

@@AndrusJones thank you so much for the response! I am definitely curious.

It’s definitely a step down from DLI, but nothing like basic for 35Ps. While I was there it felt like they felt obligated to enforce the rules but they really didn’t treat us like trainees unless we did something dumb.

I don’t know anything about getting an associates from AIT, but DLI will get you one for sure.

@@AndrusJones Thank you

@@SUPATWIN1are you 35p yet?

@@Fit_soldier I couldn't get 35P, so I took 35F.

@@SUPATWIN1 why not is it hard?

So that number is counting time at DLI. After basic you go to DLI, which is super chill compared to AIT and basic, where you’ll spend between 35-64 weeks depending on which language and if you get recycled back. Then you go to AIT and spend between 8 weeks and 5 months depending on your language. The most you could spend without failing anything is 82 weeks, the least is 43. It is honestly the longest training cycle for an entry level MOS but it comes with FLP pay for the language and honestly Monterey is awesome, so I recommend it. It seems weird to me that they can’t switch you to a different 35 series, 35P requires a DLAB so it is in theory harder to get than the other ones.

Hey, that’s cool that you know Arabic! I would bring that up with a recruiter, especially if there is one that is a 35 series, because they should be able to get you to take a DLAB and then add Arabic to your orders. DLI is really cool though, so you might consider learning a different language and then getting paid for both. If you fail DLI then they usually give you an “easier” language, or let you test out if you know a language, so as long as you’re putting in effort I wouldn’t worry about washing out. Hope that helps!

@@AndrusJones Yes, this helped. Thanks for the Info! ill mention it to my recruiter.

@@tarik2045how are you now?

Defense Language Institute, one of the main places the military sends people to learn foreign languages. Located in partly cloudy Monterey, California.

@@AndrusJones will I get paid more if I know Brazilian Portuguese? I’m thinking of changing my MOS to 35p my next reenlistment from 11 bravo

For the Army you spend a few weeks in phase 4, another 30 days in phase 5, and then you get to 5+. It shouldn’t take more than 2 months to get tot the top phase. The other branches have similar phases but I’m not sure the specifics.

@@AndrusJones Thanks i'm planning on enlisting as 35p and moving myself and my girlfriend out there is there any way we could talk about whats its like out there like message each other

@@tkggear do you get to use your phone at dLI as a 35p?

I’ll have to keep my eyes peeled for that one, I haven’t explored the city fully yet. Where is it?

Andrus Jones by the civic theater!
