    Did you listen to someone speaking an imaginary language during the test? If so, it was the D-lab.

    Yes exactly, and I had to pick the sentance that wasn't a part of the language that did not exist? So why would they give me that? Trying to fill slots in language school. I scored high on the ASVAB. Maybe that was it? Anyway I must have failed.

    You dont fail the test. It just gauges how well you can 'pick up' a language.

    Failing a languagr in High School has nothing to do with your ability to learn foreign languages. The spoken languages are taught by speaking necessity. At Defense Language Insritute 12 0f us were put in a room with a n instructor and no english was spoken after the introductions. NECESSITY you learn fast. Alfabet and the written language come later. AIRBORNE! GERONIMO!!

Anyway they never said what it was and nothing came of it, we were both 11X and just went on to Harmony Church. I always thought I must have failed.
    I think everyone thinks they fail the DLAB. I walked outta there not sure what had just happend, but I scored pretty well.

    Why tiptoe through life only to arrive safely at deaths door?

    Another dude and myself took the DLAB in Basic. Neither one of us ever heard anything more about it either.

    I always thought I failed it too, but it sounds like that's not technically correct.

    How do you find out your scores?

    I took mine at MEPS when I shipped and they gave it to me before I left. Still have the original scoresheet or whatever it is.
