Good luck, God bless, and thank you for serving our country.

Persistence and the decision to never give up, despite apparent failures and shortcomings, is the most important factor leading to eventual success.

Amen.

Success is never final; failure is never fatal; it's courage that counts.

Oh you asked for advice.

Just continue to enjoy the journey, work hard, learn your languages and remember to smell the roses. You'll make a lot of friends who will be yours for life. And report back when you can.
