Uhm, nor does the Reserve Intel community. I continued to be baffled by Officer recruiters for DCO touting to candidates how important it is to have "language skills." In my years in the Reserve Intel community I never witnessed any use of the language abilities of the Intel officers I knew. And these were folks who were fluent Farsi, Chinese, etc. The Intel community brief even has "Critical language skills" abilities listed as a valued achievement prior to O4.
Which is indeed baffling. When I was exploring IWC DCO, recruiters were going nuts that I knew some Arabic / Spanish. Then I started formally applying for EDO, and my OR and a couple other recruiters I spoke with were saying it could help a lot with the application despite the fact that some skill or achievement related to "critical language skills" is nonexistent in the EDO community.
sorry im confused sculpin - are you on this IWC DCO board or are you waiting on an EDO board?
I was selected for EDO a couple months ago. Since then it's been the fun long wait to start moving forward, but it's been a good time to get good at running again.
