What if you are not DACA qualified? You're not allowed to enlist under this act?

Re: The military enlistment act is gaining support !
 

I believe it said anyone residing over 2 years.
I am not big on the military but if this passes it will be another possibility for moving forward.

Re: The military enlistment act is gaining support !
 

Anyone residing for just 2 years can apply? Then they would become Citizens? That was sudden...

Re: The military enlistment act is gaining support !
 

nope

Its aimed at DACA kids

Re: The military enlistment act is gaining support !
 

"The bill will allow persons who have resided continuously in the United States for at least two years, and those classified as Deferred Action Child Arrivals by the Department of Homeland Security, to enlist."

So....must have lived in the U.S. for 2 years, under DACA, to be eligible to join the military?

Re: The military enlistment act is gaining support !
 

Uhmmm interesting

Re: The military enlistment act is gaining support !
 

Yeah, it sounds like they're saying anyone that has lived here for at least 2 years can join, which is weird.

Re: The military enlistment act is gaining support !
 

ill do anything at this point to get citizenship from the US, even if it means to put my own life on the line. Shit went down from where my parents came from, so if i can get this and sponsor my parents ill do anything.

I'll take sniper...

Re: The military enlistment act is gaining support !
 

TRUE. Our parents risked their lives to come here. The least we can do is risk our own to help them and at the same time fix our status.

I hope the DA passes, but if this is our only opportunity then I say we take it and make the most of it...

(I just hope the military people don't treat us like shit)

Re: The military enlistment act is gaining support !
 

Nice! This is a well-crafted bill that should pass in this month. :D

Re: The military enlistment act is gaining support !
 

En preparacion me encuentro . . . listo para romper madres.

"Citizenship will be revoked if the individual is either discharged under less than honorable conditions or does not fulfill a five year miltiary obligation."

5 year mandatory ...trippin!!!

Re: The military enlistment act is gaining support !
 

You don't have to join.

Re: The military enlistment act is gaining support !
 

I know that im just providing my opinion 5 yrs is crazy to risk your life for "possible " citizenship

Re: The military enlistment act is gaining support !
 

citizenship is a bonus for the opportunity to serve.

Semper Fidelis

Re: The military enlistment act is gaining support !
 

GO GET EM TIGER lol

Re: The military enlistment act is gaining support !
 

Shiiieett. I like this country but I'm not IN LOVE with it THAT much.... I'd serve to get my citizenship, but not just for the hell of it or to "defend our freedom"

5 years seems too long in my opinion though.

Re: The military enlistment act is gaining support !
 

Well pretty much what the rule is asking of you

Re: The military enlistment act is gaining support !
 

Yeah after 5 years you get your citizenship but still need to complete 3 more

Re: The military enlistment act is gaining support !
 

Everyone that enlists does so for 8 years. Some do 2 active duty and 6 reserves. Its not any different than enlisting normally

Re: The military enlistment act is gaining support !
 

except normally people have a status


I personally would not go through this route. Keyword personally

Re: The military enlistment act is gaining support !
 

I call dibs on the Navy Seals!

Re: The military enlistment act is gaining support !
 

For the most part status is meaningless when youre in. However, I believe I read that you get status early on so you can advance through ranks. Also It says citizenship would be revoked if 5 years arent met

Re: The military enlistment act is gaining support !
 

Or you're are discharge, not honorably

Re: The military enlistment act is gaining support !
 

What I meant to say is that the wording indicates that you should already be a citizen

Re: The military enlistment act is gaining support !
 

After five years you get citizenship and must finish the 8 years
