I know that with my unit I had some input on which language (from those pertinent to our AOR) I was going to get slotted for. I personally chose Arabic, but a lot of other ARNG guys I've talked to are heavily biased towards learning one of the easier languages (French, for instance).

Not trying to change anyone's mind, but just so you make a more informed decision - they announced to our class that effective immediately the incentive pay for "shortage" languages was being increased to $500/month for a 2/2 or higher, and $250/month for a 1+/1+. Not too bad.

Just thought I'd put that out there in case it would influence anyone's decision on which language to ask for.
