There really is nothing you can ask for in your contract that will make you more marketable to SF. Your performance at SFAS will do the talking for you. That being said I would do everything possible to get ABN in my contract. When you get to wherever your duty station will be learn EVERYTHING you can from those around you, it will pay off later if and when you get to SF, regardless of your MOS.

The DLAB has an expiration date on it so I would wait til I got to SFAS unless you currently speak another language and in that case you would be taking the DLPT instead.
