I myself graduated from DLI in Spanish, nearly 30 years ago! Like you, I didn't know what language I would get until the end of basic training. At first they said Hebrew, but turned out to be Spanish. You're right. The way the world scene looks now you will probably get Arabic or Korean. In my day, half the school was given over to the teaching of Vietnamese. It's a small department nowadays.
Being sent to learn Spanish at DLI was very providencial. I married one of the instructors and we've been happily married ever since, with five kids, mostly all grown up now. My husband still works there. If we can be of any help, please let me know.
God bless,
