So it is gorgeous here. My classes start June 7th, and when I mention that I'm getting Korean, the usual response is, "OOOH, Sorry." Several folks arrived from Ft. lost in the woods this weekend and are getting Russian. I found that they scored significantly lower on their DLABs than did the folks slotted for Korean. Now I kinda wish I'd blown

Well, they keep reformatting the different MI specialties, so you never know what you'll be in just a few years. I had four different MOSs, although only one was MI and that was for around 15+ years.

Family life is important. You may have heard the one about how nobody says, on their deathbed, how they wished they'd spent more time at the office?

Cryptonomicon is a book, nothing like Necronomicon although I think the origin of the name is a nod thereto.

If you'd like, I can probably burn (it's allowed) copies of some of the CDs and send them. Or, if you ask nicely at Baen's Bar, someone will be happy to do the same for you as a serviceperson.

Of the several prior military FSOs I've met, they come from all sorts of different specialties. I couldn't say that the specialty makes a difference in the selection process, although that may change as they go to a somewhat different testing format (to be unveiled this year).

I already have a working understanding of Jamaican patois, which is similar to Belizean kreole; can't speak it but I savvy some of the words/expressions. I have a dim recollection of h.s. Spanish, which will come in handy, plus the dirty words I learned in the military and working in a restaurant.
