    You should know this.
    I knew about SF, however the other two I was a little confused about both of those at first.

    Kevin,
    Also not well known are the opportunities that CA and PSYOPS are afforded such as immersion training abroad and later as an instructor, teaching and living with indigenous forces.

    That said I'll also just say one more thing about language proficiency with regard to cultural awareness and MI - if you don't speak and appropriately act like "one of them" you're not getting into the club. Ranting away right like out of a dictionary (be it DLI or FSI) is certainly not how most locals communicate (colloquial). The Intel consumer back at the flag pole is also very dependent on your spin when providing information (not just some raw order of battle). What you interpret from rudimentary information may be more significant than the info itself.

    Regards, Stan
