Flying Rotary for the US Coastguard

[Oil Captain]

The U S Coast Guard is not in the Department of the Defense and in the Army if you join and have already had a green card if your service record reflects your duty and there is a "need" the military can expedite citizenship. However, one must be able to pass the security clearance and there are strict issues that may prohibit a person from passing such a military clearance. But, the only force that does this is the ARMY. I also did not say that a green card holder could not join the military. Sure wish you could read.

But to assist, and to end this calling me a liar I went to the USCG web site. Here is the web site for the page of direct entry program for aviatiors into the USCG
