Reading the MOS billets for the USMC, I've come across 4 different Crypto-Linguist MOSs, separated each by their language specialty (these four being Arabic, Korean, Spanish, and Russian).
I'm curious to know if languages outside of the MOS assignment can be given by the time a recruit reaches DLI (Defense Language Institute)?
Recently I was messaged by a Marine linguist at DLI, being told that another linguist Marine was assigned -Chinese-. This language isn't even in one of the four designated language billets. What exactly causes this deviation to occur, and what factors work to influence a change like this?
