Well, I am an American citizen by birth, but after talking to me for a minute people notice my accent and believe me when I say I'm from Lithuania (haha). Here's some info:
*I want to minor in Russian at USNA.
*I am fluent in Lithuanian.
*I speak with a somewhat noticeable accent.
*Dad was enlisted (E-9) in Soviet Navy, born in Soviet Lithuania.
*Stepmom was born in Soviet Russia.
Technically, I am a white male, but how would this affect my application? I already know a little Russian, and I could do extremely well in a Russian class. I want to go into aviation or intell, and Russian would be good for intell, correct? I was told the background check would take longer, but how else would it change everything? Is any of this significant, or not very important?
