The only time I voted was during the U.S. 2020 elections (I voted as an absentee)
I am a military child so I have multiple friends that have applied and got in while they were in places such as Japan, South Korea, Germany, Italy, etc. Are you a military dependent by any chance?The only time I voted was during the U.S. 2020 elections (I voted as an absentee)
I don't think I can exactly help you, but if you need it, you can always pm me : )No, but my father is a commissioned officer of the Italian Army
Thanks anywayI don't think I can exactly help you, but if you need it, you can always pm me : )
- Just because the other officer has another passport, does not mean you can have too. Rules & Regulations often change. Maybe at his/her time, there were some clauses, special conditions, waiver etc etc.. My advice check with SA, not with other officers.Yes I already know, the only things that I would miss are the acess to free healthcare that the Italian passport gives me and the freedom of movement in all the Shenghen area, but at least the US army has an healthcare plan and I can easly request a visa for Europe. Because Italy is one of the closest allies of the US and has a warm and friendly relationship maybe I don't need to surrender my Italian passport (I know that some Comissioned Officers that have a passport of a friendly country were allowed to keep it)
Yes, I mean that I calculated this and I'm ready to do it, but only after I graduate from West Point (If I get in) because if something (accident and so on) appens and I can't go back home I would be in trouble.- Just because the other officer has another passport, does not mean you can have too.

- We live in a very dynamic environment, political relationships change. And as Military officers, there is not much one can do. I am not saying they can change with Italy.
Others who are more experienced and have served can help.
Check with SA at what time do you have to take that decision. Go to the source and get the correct info.Yes, I mean that I calculated this and I'm ready to do it, but only after I graduate from West Point (If I get in) because if something (accident and so on) appens and I can't go back home I would be in trouble.
@Greeneye22 Look up "dual citizenship" here in the forum and do your homework on the topic so you aren't faced an unexpected surprises. Also somewhere else you mentioned your father is a military officer in your home country so it would also be smart to delve into the topic of "security clearance". (Oh and start spelling "with" correctly...just a tip so you don't stand out as a foreigner. My son (who went to german schools K-6) still has the bad habit of capitalizing every noun when he writes in English (like German grammar calls for) and those little mistakes unfortunately do make you stand out.) You will be surprised how good the pizza and lasagne are in the US! I like them better than the kind I had in Italy. Good luck!If I am not wrong, you will have to surrender your other passport. Do check on this with someone very knowledgeable. There is a saying ‘One cannot serve 2 masters’. Think of this, if his forbids US is in conflict with the other country ( your other passport), no one should be left guessing which side you are on. As a military officer, one takes an oath.
Im in GA. Depending on if you live in the boonies or not will change your competitiveness for noms. Good standard is to shoot for 1350+ with a strong rank and gpa, as well as leadershipMay I ask what state you are in? I live in Indiana, I am trying to find out what my competition is in the state, but I cannot find anything.
CongratsI was "Accepted" pretty fast. Did PCQ on a week in September and it was opened by that Friday. Encouraged to complete interview and transcripts the following week. Did that, and was given an LOA by the end of the week. Afterward was just finishing that and Nom applications. I come from a place with a few applicants so that played a role. Appointment came Jan 22. Here are the things that probably stood out with my application. I was able to articulate these roles during my interview, so keep that in mind as well.
