And many of the flying bases have billets for ground linguists, but these are largely for Join Spouse situations where you have two married linguists, one flying, one ground, and the ground person will get coded to go to the flying base to join their spouse. Monterey is always an option to go back to. That's not to say there are not jobs in other locations, Goodfellow AFB has many 1N3 billets for all the languages as instructors. (MAYBE< BIG MABYE) Germany in your second tour.įarsi? You're going to Georgia or Maryland. So Chinese, Korean.they spend time at the Mothership or in Hawaii or in Korea.Īrabic?

Yes, my Ft Gordon linguists can get 'deployed' to the other side of the base, where they work for a different unit, supporting different operations. The final caveat here is the 'Deployments' for linguists to places like Ft Gordon. Not just because you're a linguist with a particular language (we're not like the Army or Marines in this respect).

You can spend your whole career in 2-3 duty locations. What’s are pros and cons of him being ground linguist? If you get married before, he'll get paid more thru boot camp (Basic Housing Allowance and Separation Pay are the two big ones)į. Should we get married before of after bootcamp? Yes, another few months at Goodfellow AFB before a first base.Į. After he is finished with tech school in Monterey, is there more schooling?

You'll have to go to Monterey, not monetary. When will I be able to go to monetary to live with him? ( I heard it’s in phases?) Also, some combination of Goodfellow AFB, TX, Korea, Germany, Alaska, Hawaii, Texas, Georgia.Ĭ. Where would be most likely be stationed with him being ground?Īlso language dependent, but the Mothership at Ft Meade is for every language.
