How can I make this thread more awkward?
Ladies and Gentlemen,
While I am still at the very early stages of my military career, at this point in time, I'd like to make the USMC a career and stay in for 20+. I'm eligible for Brazilian citizenship, and am wondering if I would be able to claim it if I were to become a retired officer. I know that when you retire from the service you are still an officer, just in a different status. I also know that you cannot become an officer or be on active/reserve duty as an officer if you hold dual citizenship. Preliminary google searches seem to indicate that I could hold dual citizenship, so long as I don't serve in a foreign military or state service, but I was wondering if anyone has 1st/2nd hand experience with a similar situation.
Thank you
