Already the case you must have a 1+/1+ to go on a LET, kind of agree with that, our current language programs can get you to a 1+/1+ level without the additional cost of the LET. I would rather see the limited funds used that way.

...wait until folks start getting told you need to have a 1/1 to even go on a LET trip.

Its coming.
I agree with guys not improving in Pashtu and Dari, I picked up what I could while there as a non speaker. My team mates who had those languages came back with a much improved skills then hit a wall above the 1+ pushing 2 level. our current language training does not focus enough on the mechanics of the languages.
