Hi, I just became a US citizen. Do I need to update DEERS or anything else? Thanks!

Not sure about DEERS, but you'll definitely have to inform the SSA and update their records.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.

Thanks, have done. Also should've said I'm military spouse, not member. Spouse has updated his clearance and everything. Just wondering if I need to do anything.

Generally - NO. However, if your active duty spouse have a Security Clearance, then he needs to give an update to DONCAF (if its a Navy or Marine Corps), that his spouse is now a US citizen. It is a very important moment, which will lessen the scrutiny, during clearance eligibility re-investigation.

P.S. I can only speak for Department of Navy side of the house. Don't know how it works for other services, but i am sure that they also have something of a similar nature.
