  1. On a related note, why hasn’t the FBI contracted with the DLI to train some of their folks? Admittedly, it is much easier to learn a foreign language as a child, but most adults are trainable.
    On a related note, I missed DLI – during my interview in Basic, I told the assessor I had a guaranteed contract to be a Spanish linguist. She scoffed (the contract was actually to be a linguist… oh well) until the results of my language proficiency came back – the only way I could have scored higher would have been if my last name was Hispanic-sounding.
