Yes, that's a great way to eventually gain citizenship.

[Asker]

Oh.. I see.. Thanks
But I must say that's not my hidden motive I promise lol
I just wanna join the military of USA!

[KrakenAttackin]

Asker. I have no problem with you seeking U. S. citizenship, and serving in the U. S. military shows how much you want to contribute.

I was in the U. S. Navy. What are your interests?

[Asker]

Wow thank you for you service!
I've always dreamt of being a Navy Seal..
Chris Kyle has always been my greatest inspiration
But since only 1 in a 1000 men can make it to that, it seems almost impossible!
Currently my aim is for the Marines!

[KrakenAttackin]

There are tons of special units aside from SEALS. USMC is a quality organization for sure. My suggestion is to choose a skill that is applicable to the world outside of the military unless you intend to retire from Uncle Sugar.

[Asker]

Thanks.. noted!
(didn't get the uncle sugar though lol)

[KrakenAttackin]

Uncle Sam (U. S. government). Also called Uncle Sugar because he has all the money.

[Asker]

Lol that's a new knowledge..
Thank you again!

If you become an American citizen

[Asker]

Yep!
I am actually concerned about the reaction of native Americans in and not in military about someone joining their military!!!
I dream of being a Navy Seal.. which seems impossible though , maybe The Marines would be achievable for me..

Thanks for the Award

Yes that's actually a way to gain citizenship here in the US. I'm not sure how it works exactly but if you talk with a recruiter they can give you more info

[Asker]

Thanks.
However I would like to make myself clear that gaining citizenship is not my hidden agenda lol
I wonder how native people would react to someone joining their army!

I mean my Opa and Oma moved to the U. S. from Germany in the early 60s, and my Opa was in the Vietnam War. Him and my Oma got a citizenship to live in the U. S., so I'm guessing yes you can.

[Asker]

Wow that's awesome!
Except that.. I don't look like them
Like I mean, everyone would think they are American if no one said they were German you know

[riverrat3]

Very possible
