Plus this soldier speaks 4 other languages as well.
Oliver isn’t an ordinary Army crane operator. Born in Sudan and raised in Saudi Arabia, Egypt and later the United States, she speaks seven dialects of Arabic, as well as English, French, Sudanese and Swahili.
And even though her transportation battalion went home two weeks ago, Oliver is staying in Kuwait for another year to work as a translator for civil affairs soldiers at Shuaiba Port. She also teaches Arabic to fellow servicemembers.
“Spc. Oliver is a godsend,” said one of her students, Maj. Cliff Crawford, port operations officer, from the 143rd Transportation Command.
