Hey there

As the title suggests, I need a place to live while I attend DLI. Im in the navy and im crossrating to be a CTI and will be there for about a year, but I'm leaving my family behind due to a whole bunch of personal reasons. I need to find a cheep apartment or room to rent from someone and I've been searching everywhere and its been rough. Not looking for anyone here to offer a place, but im looking for suggestions on where to look to find a cheap place. I am also not local so driving around won't be possible. Thanks guys

Edit: I cant stay in the barracks, I checked. They have no room for fleet returnees or for anyone E5 and above

I’m a SPC, and my MOS is 91D, so definitely not a language MOS.

I speak Hindi and Urdu, and recently decided to take the DLPT for both. I ended up getting 3 in Listening and 2+ in Reading for both Hindi and Urdu.

I’ve been reading through AR 11-6 (9 May 2024), trying to figure out if I actually qualify. From what I understand, being in a non-language MOS doesn’t automatically disqualify you, it depends on how the language is categorized on the current GPF Army Strategic Language List.

Apparently, the current GPF ASLL is dated 27 February 2026, but I cannot find the actual list anywhere.

Does anyone have the current 2026 GPF ASLL or know if Hindi and/or Urdu are currently eligible for FLPB for an E-4 in a non-language MOS?

Just trying to figure out whether I should actually expect language pay or not.

Appreciate any info, especially from anyone who has recently gone through the FLPB process.

Hello everyone, my husband will be shipping out mid November and will be doing his AIT in January. We were told his AIT will be 52 weeks and he will be allowed to bring his family with him(we have 1 child). My question seems to be getting mixed answers so I thought I’d ask here. How soon after he gets there can we move with him? At first we were told we could move in shortly after he arrives but then we were told we would not be allowed to move out there with him until after 6 months. If anyone who has been in the same boat recently could help answer this. I just really want to prepare everything as far as making the move and informing my workplace. I do not want to be out a job if I’m receiving the wrong information. Thank you!

Army recruiter told me that DLI is backed up for the next 2 years! And that all new soldiers that are heading there now and the last few months will not be taking classes ANYTIME SOON.

he then told me I should do 18x Special ops… I have a feeling he just doesn’t want me to enlist 35w MOS.

Can any new DLI students confirm classes are proceeding for new sailors, soldiers and airmen?

I’ve posted here before but I have a few questions I want to see if anybody has experience or insight on? My wife is about to start at the DLI and as the time gets closer, I’m wondering when did other wives/spouses start packing up and planning the move? I know I have to wait until after she phases out so is it just a speed run once we get word?
And does she put us on the waitlist for housing when she gets there? How does that work?
I’m going to be moving from Florida so it’ll be a long trip. Is this something the military with reimburse me for? like all the moving costs
and I have a dog, but from what i see dogs are allowed? she’s 40 pounds catahoula mix

Hi all. My husband is currently in BMT for cryptologic language analyst. He is not airborne. His recruiter told us he would be going to San Angelo TX training first then Monterrey CA. However I’ve seen so many conflicting stories on which training is first. Anyone going through this right now or went through it recently that can tell me what it’s like please?

Wondering if anyone has any info on what happened and/or when we might be able to use it again. There's a sign that just says it's closed due to unforeseen circumstances with no ETA on when it will reopen.

Getting civilian gas is gross.

A few questions that I'm just going to jump into.

Not sure if this is the best subreddit but to the Navy CTI's, or anyone who can answer;

What are the NEC's for a CTI?

What exactly does training for a NEC look like?

What are some of the more desireable NEC's for both the enlisted and for command? (I.e. ones that are easy and ones that will get you promoted.)

Do NEC's give you college credits?

What are some of the genuinely cool NEC's?

Are there any NEC's related to fields outside of the millitary? (Specifically for English Literature, Journalism, Writing in general, etc...)

And what are some of the less talked about sides of the field? I know desk job in a room more secured than a nun's britches is something happens but what aside from that?
