Congratulations, as well. Best I can tell you is, having been a military brat who grew up in Germany, is what my dad told me: You're the guest in a foreign country--learn as much of the language as you can and as much about the people as you can. BTW that also helps in cryptography; you have to have a feel for what you're translating, and that often involves decrypting of colloquialisms, something you won't get if you're going to Defense Language Institute, which is I surmise where you're headed?
