I've sent an email to the service I'm interested in, US Army, and I'm just waiting to hear back from them.

I served in Her Majesty's Royal Navy from 2001-2003, just wondering if that would make me inadmissible to serve for another country's military once I have LPR status?

11/29/12 - AOS Interview in Atlanta - 10 minutes long and approved on the spot.

ROC in 2014!

I have a friend that served in HM's Armed Forces, he transferred across to the Aussies. It took a year to do and I believe he had to resign his commission from the Army to go to joined the Australian Army. I realize it's a slightly different situation, what with the Commonwealth etc, but I can't see it being too difficult in unless you were dishonorably discharged from the RN.

I wish you good luck and many thanks for your service. My husband was the the US Army for 10 years, he said if personal circumstances had been different he would have stayed in, he says he misses the camaraderie of it all.

Good Luck mate :thumbs:

Thanks for you input, guys!

I got a reply from the Army. They said as long as my commitment to my own country is completed, reserves and whatnot, then I am free to serve in the US military.

I'm not going to sign up yet though. Want to go to college and study Psychology, then join as a Clinical Psychologist down the line.
