~ 5 years (but sometimes more) after you become a permanent resident (Green card).

You can enlist in the Navy with a Green Card, however you cannot be given a security clearence. Your citizenship papers will be expedited once you join the Navy. however there is no guaranteed timeline for this. It may be 12 months and longer.

dam well that answer my Question to cause i live in australia and i want to join the SEAL's

wish it was shorter is there anway it might be?

[futuresealwarrior]

This guy said i would be quicker if i came threw mexico and got it.

if true how many years and why would it be

[dive doc]

Yup, it will be shorter if you can get a presidential signature on the bottom of the page. Unfortunately, i do not know of much else that will do it. Unfortunately there are a lot of people in a situation similar to yours.

As far as i know, coming through Mexico does not help nor speed up the process.

Have you considered the Royal Australian SAS or SBS. The Australian SAS are one of the most highly respected and regarded SOF units in the world. It is certainly worth considering.

[futuresealwarrior]

ive heard from some people said that the SAS it the best SOF in the world
also everyone has there own opinions
also is the SAS like that navy SEAL's

[futuresealwarrior]

Also in the special force SASR you have to be in the army.air force.navy what ive heard before joining true?

[futuresealwarrior]

If you wish to become an SAS trooper you can come from any corps in the Army, Navy or Air Force. Most of the candidates will come from Infantry, however navy clearance divers and airfield defence guards (RAAF) have just a good of chance as the infantry, and Commandos an excellent chance should they want to join another SF group.

To join the SAS you cant just wake up in the morning and decide you want to join just for something a bit different. You will probably find that most people serving with the SASR don't do it for the money, they do it for the excitement and challenge.

Preparing yourself for the arduous selection course can take weeks, but a lot of people have been preparing for months or even years to meet the high standards. The Army has released training programs for prospective Commandos and SASR soldiers which can be found in the News/Info section of this site. The regime runs up to 13 weeks long - its well worth the effort as instructors can quickly spot who has and hasn't put in the effort.

Before contemplating trying out for the SASR it would be wise to consider if one is a team player and yet has the ability to work independently, if you are extremely physically and mentally fit , a lateral thinker, have an inordinate amount of self discipline, are efficient in all infantry skills, and posses a keen desire to learn.
