At my last duty-station, I worked for a brit, he was finishing his 20 years and he was a senior chief.
I also had one peruvian working for me.
One Brazailian,
and a guy form Georgia (no, not a in-bred toothless hick, this guy spoke witha british accent and was russian)
We all served in the US Navy together, and the Peruvian and Brazilian, both were injured and very nearly died while following my orders under my command.
Foreigners can join the US military, and later apply for US citizenship (if they wnat to). I have known numerous Philipinos who serve but who also do not wish to become citizens (it effects their tax-status).
Otherwise the new house is coming along well enough.
I erected the building and hung the walls and roof. I began cementing the basement flooring, but my mixer died. the local stores dont have any mixers for under $700, so I bought one via WWW for $168 and I am waiting for it to arrive by UPS.
I just need to dig-out the basement a bit, and cement it. Then floor joists and floor. I hope to be done with that around New years. Then I can blow-on some styro-foam insulation to the walls, wiring, plumbing, and maybe some internal paneling before we move in. then next summer, we can cut some holes to mount the windows.
As Galen already said, service members need not be citizens. They do have to meet the legal requirements for resident aliens, though I wouldn't be surprised to find that some recruiters "winked" at that.
He must have worked for me for months before I finally figured out what Georgia he was from. It was wierd for me, most of my career 'they' were the enemys.
non-citizen servicemembers get to reduce the time requirements before applying for citizenship. I think the minimum number of years is cut in half, so every year spent in uniform would count as two years for a resident civilian.
Got spare food coupons? and want to assist military families in need? Send them to:

No you do not have to be a citizen.
