Nothing but fond memories of my time here. I wish I could do it all again, somehow. So much fun and such a challenge.

The DLI is the best place for learning a foreign language on earth or in the whole wide universe .... as far as NASA tells us.... when you are a part of DLI, you feel like a kid in a candy store..... for a ten minutes’ walk to the dining facility. ... which, by the way, is much better than so many restaurants around town ... oh yeah... the walk ... you will hear so many languages exchanged by instructors as well as their students ... a nice native to a non-native, learning-teaching, conversation in a beautiful combination of nature's landscape of ocean and mountain greenery environment.

Great experience! I attended DLI first from Oct '68 to Apr '69 for Basic German then again Jan-Mar '76 for German Refresher before heading to 42d MP Group (Customs), Mannheim, Germany. Was further assigned to Field Ofc Schinnen (The Netherlands), Border Operations Det with Group to work on the Dutch/German & Belgian/German borders with border officials from 3 countries. Wonderful learning experience that prepared me to deal with those officials!

Depends on actual start date of his class and how well he is doing.. If the wedding is within first 90 days of class. Ify at best. If it is more than 200 miles from base, he will probably need to take 2 days leave.sign out Fri night return Sun night. This will only happen if his grades are 90% or better and still iffy because he will need time of to find housing, arrange for HHG shipment etc. There is usually a lag between basic and DLI when new students are busy signing into everything from library to fitness to car registration. During this time married students arrange for household goods housing etc. Missing even one day of school is bad.. Pace is torrid. Goal is to become a 3/3/3 linguist which is basically native high school graduate in proficiency. Reading, listening, speaking and writing. He definitely should consider getting married ASAP after boot. He is already enlisted.. In his shoes... I'd consider getting married before boot.. Call DLI Air Force NCOIC to discuss.
Since many classes start at different times in the year there is not a set spring break. When your son starts class they will be able to pick one week out of the year as "spring break". But it might not be during spring. Unfortunately there also won't be any long weekends during March or April either.
There's no dress code per se, but if everyone else is in formal wear then go with business casual. Aloha formal works well during the summer.
If the school doesn’t want them, I might like them.
Za Za Gabor. You can find a picture of her during the visit by checking out the DLI Pictorial History online.
Check with the MWR center to see what's available.
Call Defense Language Institute Presidio of Monterey main number and ask for student records office.
Normally it's January 3rd
I need to get my verification of income proof letter
Proably not . Your MOS must require that youlearn a foreign language. First you have to takr and pass the DLAB, i thouught was fun, and my MOS rquired a language
Yes, still there and going strong. Visits are difficult but you can call HQ Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center to check on current security level. Post CQ or Post Information Officer can make arrangements.
It kinda depends. Since he’s married, yes you will be there. I kinda doubt you’ll want to live on base with him. Just be patient, it’ll be like a month probably before it’s all figured out once he’s out of Basic. This was my experience with the Navy.
Best way is to visit usajobs.gov website and insert Chinese language instructor , and enter Monterey, ca in the location. I believe there is a need right now. Good luck
I imagine that you mean after you get here. That depends on your "in training" command team. During the time you are at DLI your command team will tell you when you have off base privileges. If you mean how long the training here is, it depends on the language you get. If you get an Asian or Eastern European language the school is anywhere between 1.25 - 2 years.
Call the school to find out. There is a contact number on the website.
Yes, but depending on the student's branch and phase level, there are restrictions for non-prior service students.
Not at the moment, unless restrictions get lifted before then.
Can confirm it’s still hell when it comes to hw
Lots of them. Paid versions like Rosetta Stone. Low cost versions abound. Quality vs cost is best w an online college.. Talk w other Linguists on ling.net. Google "Facebook Italy" and ling.net.
Ive seen a boxing place on cannery row i think, if not there its around that area.
