I am engaged to an american girl and am thinking of joining the military to earn a living.i am 22 years old ,literate and in great shape so would the american army accept a 5 foot 10' non citizen immigrant in its fold?

ps:i am not scared of going to iraq and i am well versed in languages like hindi,urdu,nepali,little chinese,tibetan and tamil and so on.... and of course i love all things american barring chutiyas like cowboykiller.

Go see the recruiter. I'm sure they'll at least consider you. Non-citizens can serve, and it makes becoming a citizen MUCH easier.

We're glad to have you aboard bro.

As long as you are a green-card holder, you can serve. I believe after 3 years of active-duty, you can apply for citizenship and become a citizen much faster than civilians can. Good luck.

EDIT: And then of course, after you become a citizen..you can do many things like go to Ranger school, or even special forces in the army.

THL

Citizen or not - we should be taking in anyone who wants to fight for and with us. In fact, agreeing, volunteering, to join the US military should be automatic citizenship. We can send one Anti-American American away and strip them of their citizenship for every non-American American that comes in.





*Yep, Still a card carrying Democrat*

it would be an honour if they accept me sir.

actually i am in nepal right now so seeing the recruiter is not possible and i also dont have a green card though i have a multiple entry visa. the embassy says that the papers are being processed.... my fiancee (a tibetan american) says it is normal and it is better to get married as the paper would get processed faster.is it true?


ps:i have some tattos(not gang related)and i was thinking whether it would affect my chances of enlistment?becaude of my ******* tatto i was disqualified for indian army when i was 18.

gesar

well miss if you do that,you can forget about the enlistment problem.many immigrants there would do almost anything for an american passport.

Leader

maybe

Unless it's in glow in the dark green on your forehead, I doubt it.

I think he was just ranting.

Officer of Engineers

My apologies, people. I was ranting. Got hit from both the left and the right of the political spectrum last night. Was at a bar after paying my respects to Sgt. Ernest Alvia “Smokey” Smith, was the last surviving VC winner.

Was swapping war stories with my RSM and wonder if we were up to par with Smokey's generation. Long story short. Alcohol induced aguements from the left that the Canadian military is nothing but a bunch of butchers wannabes and from the right that we're bunch of boyscouts who don't deserve the title soldier.

My apologies if I offended (or confused) anyone. Got to reduce the scotch intake. I'm not that young anymore.

TopHatter

No apologies needed nor requested Colonel. You've earned the occasional blast of hellfire

Speaking of scotch, if you are able to secure permission for leave down in Naples FL (your golf outing) from CINC-HOUSE, I have a bottle of 10-year scotch (direct from Scotland, natch) that we can do some damage to.

Officer of Engineers

Will not be able to come down. HRH of House is welcoming a new guest.
