First year you'll only take one language class (have to do 2 semesters). To be honest (looking at the next 3 years for me) you won't have much room to take other language classes unless you come in with a lot of validation credits. As for language clubs, I honestly am not sure, but there's a...

My cadre confiscated everything that anyone got with pictures/illustrations, even if they were generic. So it totally depends on the cadre!

They're still sometimes referenced as birth control glasses, haha.

Yeah I agree with Hoodlum15 with that. I didn't get on my F-18 till towards the end of 1st Beast, and my squaddies knew it was a legit one, so they respected it and I still did upper body training and knowledge at my absolute best. But I definitely know of some people in other squads who used...
