I recently was able to take a Russian Slang class at NCS and it was great training, currently looking at Middlebury for some advance language training

Well IMO it is good to see and hear that Groups, especially 3rd Group, is getting back into LET. Nothing better to learn a language than living and breathing it. One of my biggest issues with guys that were Pashto, Dari and Urdu language speakers. Being in AFG they should have done a lot better in their OPI.
Rebuilding Language skillsets will be a lot like rebuilding our UW Skills.
