Security clearance

Post by Nemo »

Hello Rangers, I have been searching for the answer to my question, but to no avail. I have heard that you have to have lived in the US for the past five years in order to be able to get a security clearance. If so, I have a serious problem as I have lived all my life in Scandinavia.
Thanks in advance.

Ranger Charlie51, I know what socialism feels like first hand. That's one of the reasons why I want to move to the US.
I've heard that I might have to give up my Norwegian citizenship. Does anyone know if this is true? Not that I mind, would do anything to serve my country and my people, however i want to do it my way. By becoming an Army Ranger.

You are a dual-citizen. Believe me...we can't control the fucking immigrants we've got.

You're good.
