Hi All,

Can some guide me to a official document or link that lists languages that are of strategic importance to the USAF.

Thank you [emoji120] and really appreciate all.
 
My DS is a doolie and most cadets in his squadron are taking either Chinese, Russian, or Arabic.
 
This is the governing DOD list:

Source: Google Search “DOD Strategic Languages”

The AF will extract its own list from this, according to its needs.

You’re welcome. I couldn’t seem to find the current AF list, found Army and Navy. No doubt my squid brain can’t lay a tentacle on the right AF search term.

What I found that these are determined by DoD, so most likely the list will be same.
 
A few days before my son received an appt to USAFA, his Mandarin teacher had been contacted by someone in admissions. They were curious how fluent he was after taking 3 years of this language. The other academies did not inquire about languages to our knowledge.
 
We went to Academy day yesterday and the ALO talked about Diversity as being a top priority for USAFA. Last year the ratio was 70 non diversity and 30 diversity cadets.
 
My DS received an extra $2,000, his senior year from AROTC for passing Mandarin with a B or better.

Was this the CenTex Service Academy Day?
