IMustStudy, I have to give you a probable no. There are specific instances of non-military taking the DLPT, but I do believe you either have to be a civilian employed for a miltiary branch or another branch of the government.
A note of caution, I am not that intimately familiar with the ins and outs of this exam. I'm not bilingual, so I haven't had a lot of reason to investigate this avenue of credit to much.
The Defense Language Institute is the body responsible for creating and overseeing the DLPT. Their website is:
Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center
You coult try contacting them. Perhaps there is a way for you to take the test. You could try emailing them, or just give them a direct call. I'd encourage you to be persistent until you get an answer either away.
Alas, the best answer I can give is one of ignorance. All I know is that I could take it. I'm not sure about civilians.
It doesn't hurt to kick the issue around until you get an answer.
It is a lot of credits.
