Unfortunately, he cannot become a Marine officer unless he gets the US citizenship. I have full understanding for this requirement, we Germans don´t have any foreigners at all in our military. So it´s just fine that the US only wants its citizens to lead its armed forces. Becoming a US citizen is the critical point, so when he leaves our army next year, he a) needs a permission to serve in foreign forces by our Defense Minister (that´s not a problem for those who want to go to NATO partners) and b) can only become an enlisted.
God Bless this dude!
BUMP!
They have 25 funerals per day there and the mood, history and awe while there for a few hours really made me love my country more !
Hi Folks, thank you all so much for your supportive words. It is nice to read something supportive. Jens is the most caring bf a girl can wish for. He is the most caring guy you can think off. He loves beeing a Soldier and he'll be a great Marine. He already is a Marine from heart.
Thanks again for all the support.
