I want to serve!

 

I don't mind being in active duty for four years but I just hope I could make use of my previous linguistic and research background if I have the chance to work for the Air Force/ Navy. I've been doing some research in different positions in the military. However, the Intelligence related work (which I mostly interested in) would require an active security clearance and hence citizenship would be prerequisite, as I mentioned in the opening of the post. 

 

Even I am not working for the military, I do hope to work for political think tanks / federal agencies or contractors with my International Relations background. I am not just quite sure whether the military experience would be helpful for my career aspiration. 

 

It's going to be a big decision and that's why I am asking here. 

I see :) May I ask how long your Green card is valid for? Is it a 2 or 10 year green card? I don't really know how the lottery works.

Cool. Thanks for clarifying. I was only asking as the Airforce require the unconditional card for joining.
