This is a reminder that military service does provide for naturalized citizenship, but it is not automatic. This is not well explained, if at, all by leadership.
That was the one thing that I appreciated about being assigned as the “medical and unusual yeoman.” I may have been a recruit like the rest of them, but my RDCs gave me everyone’s paperwork, and told me to make sure that all appointments were made and kept. I guaranteed that all 15 of the enlisted immigrants got that paperwork signed in triplicate, and forwarded to their OOB. I was then a thorn in those OOBs sides emailing them every six months until I got confirmation of US citizenship for all 15 of my shipmates.
Every other thing about that particular duty was an absolute PITA
Thank you for your service in this particular way.
One of my best neighbors is a former Navy nurse from a dirt as poor part of Jamaica 🇯🇲. He immigrated this way. Amazing guy and has a great family. My daughter and his daughter are best friends.

Honestly I’m not sure “service guarantees citizenship” is a good path to go down.
I would like to learn more.

I learned this by asking questions after Starship Troopers
