Need to address some false information going around?

You do not have to be an American citizen to join the U.S. military. I've seen a lot of false information passed around here saying that you must be an American citizen. You must be a legal resident and have a green card to join. This is a fact. I serve with people from Mexico, Columbia, Brazil, Spain, Canada, and Scotland and none have citizenship.Need to address some false information going around?

Yep. I keep seeing people answering with statements that you have to be an American Citizen to join.


If that were true then I wouldnt have served with many of the people I served with.


Joining the military as a non-citizen helps in the process of becoming a citizen though with the Military Naturalization (I have it downloaded to my computer)
finally someone else who realizes that!


good question errr... statement :]

where's the question ?
I have only stressed that you need to be an American citizen to accept a commission as an officer from the President. That is true.
do you go around asking guys if they are citizens? i have never asked another marine about is citizenship, i expect that question would be answered with a broken noes



I am surprised that the military doesn't make this known. They are always trying to recruit,you think they would make it known.
