SSG Private RallyPoint Member 1002172 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I am planning to go back Active Duty and was told I need a DLAB score of 107. I have proof on old 2-1 of my 119 score. Can I be required to take it again, or is my score still valid? Oh, yes, 32 years later, I still speak, read and write Russian, which I learned in 1984 at DLIFLC. 2015-09-29T12:00:58-04:00 SSG Private RallyPoint Member 1002172

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>DLAB scores are good for two years, much like the ASVAB. Difference is the ASVAB remains valid once you enlist.<br />Are you attempting to go to DLI and learn another language?

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>You'll have to go back to the regs. The scoring system has changed multiple times since then. But there also used to be a provision that once you learned a language at DLI they didn't look at your DLAB anymore.<br /><br />I did Russian in '86 and then Czech at FSI in 2004-5.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>From my experiences SSG, if ur skills are right and they are looking for it at the time you may have to re- DLPT to prove it. But if you are of use they will take you.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I would contact the DLI Registrar's office and get records from your DLI training. They should have records going back that far. Then, I would take the RU DLPT to show demonstrated proficiency in the language, if that option is available to you. That, with your old record of the 119 (which I believe is the equivalent of a 109, but I'm not entirely sure) should get you in, or at least a strong case for a waiver. The recruiter can also call HRC Language Branch and see what they say about the DLAB issue.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>What MOS are you trying to get into? if it is 35P or 35M, then you won&#39;t need to retake the DLAB, only the Russian DLPT. If your MOS is language-dependent, then you will need to retake the DLPT annually.
