Be afraid.
My friend Gladys Vazquez was doing AIT there at about the same time. She was an Intelligence Analyst with a Linguist secondary (she's like my mother, she picks up languages at the drop of a hat).

As an aside, did you know that the military teaches some interrogators an entirely artificial language (not Esperanto) so they can talk to each other openly while questioning someone, but the detainee has no idea of what they're saying? Gladys told me it's a strange, alien-sounding language and speaking it actually contributes to the fear of detainees because it sounds so weird. You need a special security clearance to learn it and you can't even use it outside of certain interrogations (she wasn't allowed to speak it to me so I could hear it).
