That was the one thing that I appreciated about being assigned as the “medical and unusual yeoman.” I may have been a recruit like the rest of them, but my RDCs gave me everyone’s paperwork, and told me to make sure that all appointments were made and kept. I guaranteed that all 15 of the enlisted immigrants got that paperwork signed in triplicate, and forwarded to their OOB. I was then a thorn in those OOBs sides emailing them every six months until I got confirmation of US citizenship for all 15 of my shipmates.
Every other thing about that particular duty was an absolute PITA
My squadron had a lot of immigrants in it for how small it was, and they were all better sailors than most. I’m glad that some immigrants had someone like you fighting for them, it’s not an easy path to take
Damn straight. Every immigrant observed with was a better sailor than most of the homegrown, and most of them were just plain better Americans than the majority of people born here. They all were doing everything they could to make their lives and others lives better.
