New LTs will be less respected?

It's not about grammar, but if we can't even figure out what you are asking, then it is.

Not to mention writing is a big part of being an officer. You write orders, SOPs, awards, evals, etc. Also follow on formal schools for O-3 and beyond in all the services are a requirement to progress in the ranks. Writing is a huge component of those schools. Many of those schools are the equivalent of a Masters degree, Not saying I am a decent writer, my punctuation is correct, my spelling is always right...but I like to think my point can be figured out.

You're right
 
Casual internet sites and texting among friends tends to encourage terrible english and spelling. What may pass in casual texting between friends is not accepted in the professional world. In a group of people with college-level education (many with master's and PhDs), writing like a 6th grade student will invite harsh judgment. Strong communication ability is a key skill for officers and professionals of all types. You will be taken more seriously and be understood better if you communicate like a mature, educated adult.

This is true. I really need improve my english and stop posting s****.
 
From previous postings from the OP it seems he looking for avenues toward citizenship, I am assuming english is not his first language.

Attitude is an entirely different subject.
 
Raimius,

Can you help me?

I'll be more mature from now on... My dream is to become an officer(pilot).


About me:

1)I'm not american, so I need to get my US citizenship first
2)Obviously, I'm not the smartest or strongest guy in the world
3)I'm a senior in HS
4)I'll start my application for a green card(EB-5/Business $1 million+10 jobs)10 -14 months
5)The Academy is my goal(or at least give it a try)

My doubts:

1)I don't know where to go first (San Antonio/TX, Colorado Springs, Miami,LA....)
2)I didn't chose a college yet
3)Extracurricular activities(I would like to participate in regional Karate championships as well as get my PPL and join some aviation club(USUA or EAA).
Sadly, I can't compete in Rifle teams(because I'm not a US citizen and under 21 yo).To go Paragliding if possible.
Oh...I also play violin
4)Enlistment/US citizenship
What are my chances of have a commander's endorsement right after graduate from BMT (LEAD Program)?

Thank you

You have a million dollars to invest in a business and will hire 10 people?
 
This is the worst case of chain yanking I've ever seen on this forum. I've seen goofier set-ups, but no more gullible bait-takers.

On the off chance that OP is honestly describing his/her situation, I'm not sorry. I wouldn't want you in a US SA or in the US at all. Go do your $million deal in Canada or the Caribbean. They make it much easier. I'd rather hand out citizenships to the guys working 13 hrs/day replacing my roof.

I don't care
 
Ok...

So, you are coming to the US to go to college, enlist in the military, and run a business. Do you plan to do all of these at the same time? You do realize they are all full-time commitments, correct?

What exactly are your goals?
 
Are you aware of how long the citizenship process works, even after someone receives a green card?

What country are you from and how old are you?

Yes
 
Your plan is not likely to work.

You need to look at your goals, and decide which ones to work toward. You will not succeed as a full-time business owner, full-time student, and full-time military member. You would need 72 hours in each day.
 
My mother will ''run the business'' .The EB-5 process lasts from 10 to 14 months. Once the process is done, we get our green cards.
Oh.. Meanwhile.. I'll enroll at a college and participate in extracurricular activities(sports,clubs etc).

With a green card, a HS certificate as well as the ability to speak and write english fluently, I'll enlist, take the ASVAB, meet the PULHES Standards, wait(DEP), Graduate from BMT and get my citizenship.
