Becoming a citizen

"In a place outside of Jacksonville, Florida, I was sworn in as an American citizen."

"The day I was eighteen, I was inducted into the military. And I actually became a citizen afterwards, in the military, in a place outside of Jacksonville, Florida, I was sworn into the—as an American citizen. I stayed in the military through basic training, and I didn’t choose it, but they sent me to Germany to join five—and I was back in Germany five years after I’d left.”
