    The german guy wants to join the marines and become a U.S. citizen, someone mentioned that if he dies in Iraq as a marine, he could get honourary citizenship to the U.S. What good is that going to be if he cannot enjoy it?

      Ahhh, I see. The statement you quoted says he wants to become a citizen, then a Marine though. ;)

        Well hold on boys! From what I have seen here in the Chicago area andI can certainly tell you that many many hundreds of Ukrainians and Pollocks and christian A-raanbs and latinos were all flockin to become conscripts when the war in iraq endd in 2 days! But since tha last year the marines are desperately lookin for anyone willing to pump cheese in Iraq! Any guy is good enough as long as his sorry ass is in the U.S. and he is willing to commit to a tour of duty, the miitary is promising a Green card!

        The problem is coming back unscathed is getting harder and harder by the day! So to the German guy, all I can tell you is that if you are that desperate to get into the Marines then just come here on a visitor visa and then just walk up to the Marines table at any blue collar mall

        Hell after a little bullshit talk they'd take you man! They are so God-damn desperate for ppl! I know my neighbor whose 18 year old brother just came from Poland he got his ass in the marines to get him naturalised quick! :)

                  Gotta have a Green Card (immigrant alien) that allows you to work and a SSN. Tourist or student visa will not cut it.

                  There is an American MC recruiter in europe that could give you all the facts. Just cannot remember where he is located.

                  Go to the American embassy and talk to the kid at post 1 tell him/her that you want to become a Marine. Or better yet, find out where they hang out (drink) in town and
                  buy them a few and discuss this. They can point you in the right direction.

                    illigal immigrants cannot serve in the military. Only green-card holders can.

                        They will absolutely refuse you, unless you have a green-card. No amount of military skill will get you into the U.S military if you're not a citizen or have a green-card. My russian friend was refused when first talked to the recruiter, he waited two years, got his green-card and then enlisted.

                            Alright, now before I say something and get attacked, I want to say that by no means do I know much of anything about this topic. I am only trying to clear up my own understanding.

                            OK. I have my grandfather's papers from when he had joined the US Army. He was never a US citizen, he was born and raised in Mexico. In fact, when he went in, he barely spoke English. I know he had never gained citizenship prior to going in as his papers even list him as a "non-citizen" and the SSN is blank.

                            His wife, my grandmother, had also been raised in Mexico, but she had somehow become a US citizen (I am not clear how, the story has changed at my father's generation level).

                            My question is, has this all changed during time to not allow imigrants to enlist? I realize that the 1940's were a long time ago, and much is different now than it was then, which is why I ask.

                                I guess I left this out - my grandfather joined during the war. In fact he was a POW.
