Answer 2

you must, at minimum, be a Permanent Legal resident with a Green Card.

however, CTIs (Linguists) require you to be a Citizen and eligible to get a Top Secret Clearance. CTIs are NOT interpreters. the Navy doesn't have a specific rating for that, and in fact seldom uses actual interpreters.

If you do not know how to swim, you will be taught the basics at Boot Camp, but it is a lot better for you to do so on your own time so that you finish BC on time.

Answer 3

well first of all you HAVE to be a US citizen. You have to have a certain score on the ASVAB (military aptitude test its not hard). You must be a highschool grad or have a GED. Then you cant have major physical restrictions. Other than that you need to go see a recruiter go to

Answer 4

If you go see a Navy recruiter in your area they will answer all your questions.
