you will take you citizenship test and everything while there. we had a Korean and a Nigerian fellow become citizens while in boot camp...
as far as the language barrier...
I did se someone get set back because they weren't nearly as fluent in English as they should have been. but as long as you can understand English you will be fine. I know many a sailor here in A school who have very thick accents (including Russian).
and you can make phone calls in whatever language you want, and they cannot read you mail.
good luck!
