I think these threads would provide a good idea of the people to ask in private.

The replies are much appreciated. Although, the first thread pertains to language proficiency as a communications mos or the level of profiency needed for most conversational situations.

The pipeline only displays a couple months dedicated to language school. From what I have gathered, the full Chinese course offered at the DLI in Monterey, Ca is 1 full year. That being said, if only a couple months is dedicated for language, then there must be an abridged or adjusted course specific to the needs of each group.

The 2nd thread pertains to language proficiency and pay benefits, but does not indicate whether or not it influences which group a candidate will be assigned to.
