Getting to know your students

Much of the student experience here is shrouded in mystery, largely because of the unique nature of DLIFLC. Institutions that focus entirely on language are few and far between, let alone a military language institute that teaches to a high level of proficiency. The pace is rapid, the intensity high. For the vast majority of students, it's like nothing they've ever done before. In this podcast, we open up the window into four different students' lives. If you're a past, present or future student, or just curious about DLIFLC, you'll want to hear what they have to say.

Resiliency: Learning To Fail

One of the most important aspects of resiliency when you are hit with curveballs in life is being able to get back up and keep moving. It’s not an easy habit to develop in this technologically advanced world, when it seems like the only effort involves a three-minute musical montage in a movie or video and suddenly you’re on the other side of the challenge.

Resiliency: Taking Care of Yourself

In a world where big ideals like “mission” and “battle buddy” are your career, it is a challenge to take time for yourself. That thought might even be accompanied by guilt, because the core values of your branch simply don’t mention self-care in the list of priorities. But as the saying goes, you have to put your mask on first before you can help someone else with their mask. From hitting golf balls to fixing up cars to better sleep, listen in as several past and present DLIFLC students share how they have learned to take care of themselves.
