This is especially true if you are a junior officer still on language probation (I'm not in that position). They can also request a language waiver for you so you can go ahead to post with lower than a 3/3. I'd rather not do that, since it would mean no language incentive pay.Diggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03856750834804127824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31417199.post-28024432908035693342011-04-27T23:10:02.571-04:002011-04-27T23:10:02.571-04:00I know this is a question that has been asked or a...I know this is a question that has been asked or answered somewhere else, but I saw your post and wanted to ask before I forget my question in the process of looking for a more appropriate forum.<br /><br />What happens at this point if someone doesn't get their 3/3?Dispatch from Indiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07881292295612925812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31417199.post-66313671932337532952011-04-27T19:01:10.690-04:002011-04-27T19:01:10.690-04:00@Cynthia - Glad you find it useful, and good luck ...@Cynthia - Glad you find it useful, and good luck to you!<br /><br />@Pat - At my last progress test, the LTS said I was on track to a 3/3 or beyond. I think most everyone who gets 44 weeks gets a 3/3. I am just having one of those "I feel stupid" language moments.Diggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03856750834804127824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31417199.post-53528890883804964172011-04-27T18:33:51.362-04:002011-04-27T18:33:51.362-04:00It's not impossible.

Keep at it systematically and work on vocabulary and reading you know you'll need for your job. <br /><br />What do most FSOs get in Estonian after 44 weeks at FSI? E.g. is 3/3 realistic? It's a really tough language. And what scores have you been receiving along the way? <br /><br />Fastest way to improve, of course, is in country language training - but that's another story.Patricia Kushlishttp://www.whirledview.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31417199.post-34219954810274309762011-04-27T16:06:37.544-04:002011-04-27T16:06:37.544-04:00you can do it!! i've been frequenting your blo...you can do it!! i've been frequenting your blog for a month now and thought it'd be okay to interject a little encouragement ;) thanks for your consistent updates. i'm one fs hopeful (of probably many) that really appreciates them (the updates) and you!Cynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10501489267987739571noreply@blogger.com
