"US Military Offers Path to Citizenship for Foreigners"

The US Army and Air Force are recruiting legal residents to join the military, offering a fast track to citizenship to those who sign up. The military has had success in recruiting legal immigrants, particularly among those seeking a job, education benefits, and training as well as a quick route to becoming an American citizen. The shortfalls have led to a wide range of new recruiting programs, ad campaigns, and other incentives to help the services compete with often higher-paying, less risky jobs in the private sector.
