Well, I survived BCT and AIT as a 96B! Got back home and got a job offer (which I accepted) out of state. I had to change units since I'm in the Reserves, and was picked up by a new unit - MIAD/MIRC or something since I live in the boondocks. The new unit said they can use me for my language skills but my MOS would change to a 98G. I know I'd have to go for 98G training but not sure how long that would be for. Also, I was wondering if I'd be going away to DLI or not since I can speak several languages at near-native fluency but my languages don't have DLPT tests and only have OPI's - which I took and passed while at AIT. Also, I can not read or write anything but English, and can only speak Urdu, Baluchi, Sindhi, Kacchi, Gujrati, and Hindi because we moved a lot when I was growing up and picked up languages along the way. Didn't get a chance to go to the locals schools and so missed out on learning how to read and write in the local languages (it sucked to go to private schools, but then again I did end up learning to read and write in English). So, the question is: When I go for language and golf training would I be taking both courses entirely or would I get to go for a 'shortened version' of both courses since I can speak the languages; and maybe Golf training has some courses that are identical to Bravo courses? Probably not, but thought I may ask around to have a better idea of what lies ahead. Thanks for your comments and answers.
As for your languages, not reading is going to be a problem since the dlpt, at least for Urdu, involves a reading portion. However, since you do have some low-density languages there that are in demand, they may make some exceptions for you. It's possible that they'd send you to DLI (maybe Monterey, maybe D.C.). As far as I know, there isn't a shortened course and since they teach reading, writing, listening, and speaking all at once, they may not advance you. As for 98g school, you'd probably only be there a few weeks because you'd be in the non-target language course because of your languages. Only the more common languages have full courses.
As for not being able to read, you won't be able to DLPT and therefore not be technically proficient according to the Army. The only place you EVER take a speaking test is at DLI. Otherwise, it's just reading/listening.
The training for a gulf (not golf) I can't speak for; however, at DLI there is no "shortened course" for someone who can speak but not read.
