After being approved for TS//SCI clearance, I worked in a sensitive
compartmented information facility (SCIF) on
Fort Gordon, Georgia
. Day to day
work involved: Monitoring, translating, and transcribing foreign language
communications, preparing formal intelligence reports for dissemination to the
Intelligence Community. Developing previously unexploited sources of
intelligence. Coordinating with peers across the US to verify and disseminate
information. Referencing news reports, legal documents, and published works to
verify intelligence. Providing leadership, guidance, and training to junior
personnel.
I also had the opportunity to complete the
USMC Martial Arts Instructor (MAI)

NC.
After completing Basic Training on Parris Island, SC, I flew across the country
to the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center in Monterey,
California. DLIFLC trains members of all four branches of the military, the
Coast Guard, and the State Department in mission-relevant foereign languages.
The Middle East School provide 64-weeks of instruction in Modern Standard Arabic
(MSA) and Levantine dialect. Dialects are taught from
the beginning in the classroom, along with foundational MSA each day. A key
component of DLIFLC's success in teaching foreign language so effectively is the
highly educated faculty who are motivated to teach their language and culture to
American students. The instructors, 98 percent of whom are native speakers of
the language they teach, take great pride in preparing students to serve their
country.
