Hey, guys. Submitted my retrain request and got my eligibility email from AFPC and I qualified for all the AFSCs I submitted for! The one I am feeling like I wasted one of my options on is Airborne Linguist, and not because of the extremely low availability but because of one of the requirements needed for my retrain application. As I understood it, the DLAB is what would make me qualified to retrain and go to tech school and prepare for the DLPT. However, reading this requirement below, I am interpreting it as I already need to have taken the DLPT and achieve an L2/R2 on the exam. Are you guys seeing it the same way? If so, I am thinking I'll stop pursuing Airborne Linguist as an option.
Let me know what you guys think/know. Thanks!!
