Good post, but would like to make one correction -- they've changed the rules on how much language you can have between first and 2nd tours, and now it's based on the number of weeks you had. So I, personally, had a full hard language before my first tour and another full, hard language before my 2nd tour (even though that actually took me 6 or 7 weeks past my 'training limit' of 78 weeks.) I know quite a few people in a similar situations, so it isn't rare -- many people are getting two full languages these days.
