> Man, that sounds great to learn a language that well and that fast, do you get paid while training too, or only when you've passed everything?
You get paid normal Army pay throughout, but you do get extra proficiency pay if you pass the big test we have to take every year with high enough scores. If you marry someone, you can move off post from the language school and the Army will pay your housing as a couple, lots of contract marriages happen that way, sometimes guys even marry each other to live off post though they’re not gay. Monterey California is a super cush place.
> Sadly I don't think I'd do well in the military though, and I also heard that they'll assign you to whatever language is currently most needed, not necessarily one that you would personally like to do
Yes, they assign you your language according to the needs of the Army, the vast majority of soldiers were learning Arabic and Chinese when I went. I figure the UK has something similar.
