Your knowledge of Urdu could very well land you a job with the feds. Check out the NSA and DoD. I'm currently reading a book titled "The Good Son" by Michael Gruber. You might enjoy it. The author really did his homework when it comes to Urdu and my slight knowledge of it makes the book even more interesting. I mention this book because several of the characters speak Urdu and one is a college grad who works for the NSA. She is also a computer information specialist. Interesting stuff.

Namaste and Dil Se.

p.s. You are not bilingual. You are trilingual.

leaving the military could be done, but this is only for those who have a medical condition or anything that will prevent them from serving any further.
Whats the minimum contract? What if I break the contract?

Visit this site
I want to do something different by joining the military. I am single with no kids. So relocating is not an issue for me.

The contract depends on your job, and you go to jail.

AWOL I can't believe you've never met anyone in the military. Drop by a recruiter if you really want to join.

I'm wondering myself. I can't believe you would grow up in the US, and have so little knowledge of the armed forces.

I see them on the streets in uniforms. I actually once went to the National Guard office when I was in college.
