It's well worth learning German, as you will come into contact with the locals, and you'll probably want to order a few beers when you get stationed out there!<br><b>References : </b><br>Serving British soldier Yes it is, you’ll get posted out to Germany at some point in your military career (usually within the first 4 years).

The reason for the widely spoken is much of the early space programs were using German engineers after WW2 so much of the newer scientific work uses German instead of Lation based words. I would think while it might be a direct help to you it wouldassist you in other areas and possibly make things easier either in or out of the service.<br><b>References : </b><br> Speaking a foreign language is always a good idea and learning German is easier then many because it is the root base of English but at the same time widely spoken.

In the Army a second language is a very good asset to possess. If you are a fluent German speaker it would be a big help in signalling as you can translate at NATO level. Also it would help you get a plum posting at NATO HQ possibly.<br><b>References : </b><br>Retired plod ex RE Good luck with the career, excellent choice.

You wont have time during your training to learn another language. But once you've finished you can learn in your spare time and the army will help you do this, you can also go on course's to learn other language's, Gujarati and Bengali are pretty popular as as other Language's using in the middle east. It would also help if you get based in Germany. Good Luck and see you out there Soldier!<br><b>References : </b><br>I'm a British Army Recruit.
