Besides personal improvement; what do you all think is the motive for this?

Senior noncommissioned officers and field grade officers will soon be required to take up a new language as part of their professional military training starting next year. The students down at Maxwell (Air Force Base, Ala., home to Air University and the Senior NCO Academy) are going to be required to take classes one of four languages: Arabic, French, Spanish and Chinese.

to keep the influx of Senior NCO's on an all time high? that way when they send them oversea's they don't have to pay them as much? LMAO!!

Hog

Why French???? (useless language)

it is easier to communicae with the people whose countries you invade if you speak the language.

show me your hands. now. hands on your head with fingers interlocked. now. on your knees. now.

does this mean we are going to invade France???

Rick,

If you just squeeze the little trigger thing communication is not an issue, and you're welcome. I still gladly defend, with my life if necessary, your right to patronize me on this board.

God bless America and all it's citizens!!! For all of our flaws we are still the greatest country on this earth.

Hog, I figure they're going to stop language proficiency pay.

Why French...it's the second true international language, right behind enlish.

It ain't just field grade officers. My best friend is a junior officer and the Navy is forcing to go to Monterrey and learn a 2nd language.

^ "Why French...it's the second true international language, right behind enlish".

*See, that's what I mean.

Who's ever heard of enlish?

Latin is more international than French.

French is important if you're invading a culinary school.

Hey now, I'm all for it. Otherwise we wouldn't have words like felatio and cunnilingus.

(Unless of course, those words aren't French, and I'm the gutter minded village idiot)

Oh please, Oh please. Let's invade France. Royale with cheese, please.... They put mayo on their fries and don't what a quarter pounder even is. They'll surrender at the first sign of aggression.

what do they call a big mac?
