If you really want to get to the nuts and bolts of what you are going to be expected to do/learn read the Cryptologic Linguist section in the Signals Intelligence Training and readiness manual. Here's a list of the EMOS's the Marine Corps provides after you gain your initial 26XX MOS:Ģ711 -Afghan Pashto Linguist (MGySgt-Pvt) EMOSĢ794 -Ukrainian Linguist 2799 -Military Interpreter/Translator

If you are trained in a selected language, but also are proficient in another, take the Defense Language Proficiency Test for that language, and if you pass at level 2 or better you will gain that language's EMOS.Ģ611 -Cryptologic Digital Network Technician/AnalystĢ621 -Special Communications Signals Collection OperatorĢ631 -Electronic Intelligence (ELINT) Intercept Operator/AnalystĢ651 -Special Intelligence System Administrator/CommunicatorĢ673 - Asia-Pacific Cryptologic LinguistĢ674 - European I (West) Cryptologic LinguistĢ676 - European II (East) Cryptologic Linguist Once you are trained in your 26XX MOS, you will gain an EMOS from the Defense Language Institute in any language you are Level 2 proficient in. Just click on the MOS number next to its description for a detailed description of job responsibilities, requirements, etc. Here's a list of MOS information for 26XX. I was wondering I guess, what the new major language need is besides Arabic, I will say, that with a 104, you're set for qualifying for most, if not all, languages they offer. Most any language is in demand at different times, so it's hard to say what would be most likely by the time you would be projected to hit DLI. There are at least a few other 26xx's on here that will be along shortly to add to what I noted above and to pass along other helpful information.ġ. They could take into account what languages you already know or are familiar with if any of those languages happen to jive with what is in demand at the moment. Also, these locations are somewhat dependent on what language you get as well.ĥ. That should set you up with plenty of information on where the various possible duty locations are. Google Radio Battalion (1st, 2nd and 3rd.Lejeune, Pendleton, Hawaii, respectively) and Marine Cryptologic Support Battalion. The daily job varies depending on where you're stationed.Ĥ. Very very rarely will a 267x do work as an interpreter.ģ. I will say, that with a 104, you're set for qualifying for most, if not all, languages they offer.Ģ. My recruiters had never signed an interpreter before, so they couldn't tell me much about it. I know those are very specific questions, but I haven't spoken to anyone who really knows about this.

When they are selecting a language for me, will they take into account my previous foreign language experience to determine which one would be best? Where are some common places a Marine cryptolinguist would get stationed?ĥ. What do actual duties entail? Do they do field interpreting, or signals intelligence translations, or both?Ĥ.

What languages are in demand right now at DLI (and for the military)? If it helps, my DLAB score was a 104, and I am tri-lingual as well (English, Spanish, French, plus some Russian).Ģ. If any of you Marines either are/were linguists, or know a fellow Marine who is/was a linguist, I would appreciate it if you could tell me about what it's actually like. So, the MOS I have chosen is 26xx, cryptolinguist. I am a female poolee who will be making that crazy journey to Parris Island in just about two months.
