Hi guys, I am filling i485, am on a tourist visa, and got married to my wife who is sa US citizen last month. I served in the army in Turkey which is mandatory. the questions in part 8 ;

49:have you ever received any type of military, paramilitary, or weapons training?

54: have you ever been a member of, assisted or parcitipated in any group, unit or organization of any kind in which you or other persons used any type of weapon against any person or threatened to do so ?

55:have you ever served in, been a member of, assisted or parcitipated in any military unit, paramilitary unit, police unit, self-defence unit, vigilante unit, rebel group, guerilla group, militia, insurgent organization, any other armed group ? 

Obviously, serving in the army makes the answer for these questions yes. And, my father also served in the army 35 years ago. question 51.f : recieved any military, paramilitary, or weapons training from a group or organization that did any of the activities described in item number 51.a ? Should I answer all questions on 51 as yes ? 

In the additional info part of i485, I wrote this statement I will mention below, do you think it is enough to satisfy ?

I was in the army for 5.5 months between 03/11/2014 till 04/21/2015 in Turkish Armed Forces. Military service in Turkey is compulsory for all male citizens. I had training for H&K G3 NATO battle rifle in Kastamonu, Turkey for 40 days. Then, I served in Tunceli Jandarma Bolge Komutanligi, Turkey for the rest of my compulsory service. My main duty in the army was keeping the dormitories and bathrooms clean. I was also having watches for 8 hours a day in the camp in Tunceli, Turkey. I carried my rifle during the watches and never used it. I completed the compulsory service on 04/21/2015.

 

Thank you for your time guys!
