Group selection process.
Hola,

I was just wondering this in accordance to my current assignment here to AFSOUTH, before I head off to become 18X. Would AOR knowledge, deployment experience to Colombia as a collection manager, and fair Spanish language skills with a small understanding of Portuguese help me when time comes for my assignment to a Group. I know I'm a long ways off, but I'm just wondering if the course looks closely at previous experience when choosing assignments or if they just go by your DLAB. Thanks in advance.

Not until you learn to spell the name of the country correctly.

There are no guarantees in life. With that said, are your Spanish and Portuguese language skills documented in recorded DLPT scores?

The Spanish will be. I want to tighten it up a little before I take the DLPT though. The Portuguese needs quite a bit of work before I feel comfortable taking the test though. However, I still have a good amount of time; so, I'll just see where I am when I get closer. If it will help, I'll go take it even if I only pull down a 1+/1+.
