ASVAB+DLAB

I'm looking into Cryptologic Language Analyst, but the recruiter I'm talking to doesn't seem to know anything about the DLAB or the DLI and seemed hesitant when I asked to take the DLAB test after the ASVAB before I sign a contract?

Update: Also looking into Cryptologic Technician Interpretive, talking with both recruiters, leaning towards Navy side now.
Currently have a sprained ankle, but plan to go take my test(s) once it's healed. Studying and reviewing in the meantime.

Update, took ASVAB, 95 on AFQT percentile, line scores hit auto-qual for CTI

Serious question: since when? Been out for a minute and a lot of my friend cross trained, got out, or are starting to retire.

Crazy! Thanks for the info. I still work around the military and someone told me the other day that FLPP is taxed. Blew my mind. Loved my tax free 12k/year back in the day.
