They will, as long as you're immigration status is in order... we had a few recruits in my division take their citizenship test while in basic.

From the profile info, Daria has already been to MEPS and has a job, so obviously the citizenship is not in question nor is it a concern.

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!

May i send letters to Russia while in boot camp?

I have an accent too and that's one of my concerns. So I definitely understand what you feel right now. I'm worried that I won't be able to understand what they say especially with the slang words and American accents.
I felt so relieved I didn't go through that "Language Barrier" thing

when are you shipping?
