Although as soon as the first politician is elected that'll all change.Response by SPC David Willis made Dec 7 at 2017 4:17 PM2017-12-07T16:17:48-05:002017-12-07T16:17:48-05:00SSG Private RallyPoint Member3154116<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>My understanding is that if you hold a dual citizenship or are a foreign citizen on a green card or whatever, that you cannot obtain a security clearance. <br />I know a guy that was a dual US/Brazil citizen because his family still lives in Brazil. He couldn't obtain a secret clearance because of it.Response by SSG Private RallyPoint Member made Dec 7 at 2017 9:42 PM2017-12-07T21:42:25-05:002017-12-07T21:42:25-05:00SPC Erich Guenther3154217<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>The Military never cares about what you do with citizenship it is actually the State Department. DoD follows State Department rules and regs. So your probably addressing the wrong department to begin with.Response by SPC Erich Guenther made Dec 7 at 2017 10:25 PM2017-12-07T22:25:33-05:002017-12-07T22:25:33-05:002017-12-07T15:49:34-05:00
