I'm sorry guys but I just don't get it............ I was under the impression that Special Forces Questions were to be answered by "QP's only",when did it become an open
forum?............

Special Forces Questions

This is a forum where civilians can "ask" the Special Forces soldiers past and present "Special Forces" related questions.

Those questions are then answered by Special Forces soldiers, period.

Questions asked by the general public should NOT be answered by the "general" public.

If you do not have the title of "Quiet Professional" you may ask a question, but leave the "answers" to the QP's.

that's why i was hesitant to answer, but i've tried 3 languages through RS so i thought my input would be relevant since he didn't really ask how it applied in the world you guys work in, just if it worked. I've seen real world results through better communication with locals from using RS.

Sorry if I overstepped.

AKO
If you have access to AKO, I am fairly sure you can get Rosetta Stone for free. You have to be active, guard, reserve, ROTC or academy to recieve it. Retired personel and contractors are not accepted for it. If you have access, check on it before instead of just taking my word for it. If you don't have access and/or are not associated with the Army, Ebay may be your best bet.

Good Luck

I was going to say this.. Like Aloring POSTED.. If you're a AKO user. Search for Skillport. You Register with your AKO account and they send you a password. You can log on from anywhere and get a lot of RS courses for free.

I'm currently taking Pashto.. Let you know how it turns out.

MG, have you taken a look here: http://fieldsupport.dliflc.edu/downloads.aspx?

They have Paki Pashto for your iPod (I'm not a RS fan).
