Professional Soldiers ® - View Single Post - Language Training: What Would It Cost To Do It Right?

Our language programs have always been a bit "discombobulated"...

We have to hold to DLI standards in much less training time. They don't change the rating tests to compensate for our abbreviated time we give in our language school.

Also, unless they've changed it, it's not to military oriented.

I think if it were not up to the OPTEMPO, the GP language facilities could realy tailor theire language needs there.

But that would require losing an ODA('s) for how long to do it....

I don't know if we'll ever get it "right"...
