LANGUAGE CATEGORIES
( Dutch , French , Italian , Portuguese , and Spanish )
( German )
( Belarusian , Czech , Greek , Hebrew , Persian , Polish , Russian , Croatian , Slovak , Tagalog , Thai , Turkic , Ukrainian , and Vietnamese ) The various categories also determine the course length of the basic course as taught at DLI, if taught at all. The DLAB is typically administered to new and prospective recruits at the United States Military Entrance Processing Command sometime after the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery is taken but before a final job category (frequently called MOS) is determined. An individual may usually take the DLAB if they score high enough on the ASVAB for linguist training and are interested in doing so. The DLAB is also administered to ROTC cadets while they are still attending college. Military personnel interested in retraining into a linguist field typically also must pass the DLAB. In some cases, the DLAB requirement may be waived if proficiency in a foreign language is already demonstrated via the DLPT .
