Actually an instructor at SFSC is a Green carder before. He is from Nicaragua and is now a US citizen and serving in SF for the past several years. He was originally a Marine, but we try not to hold that against him.

You must be a US citizen to obtain a security clearance to come into SF now. That was not true prior to the 80s. We had Canadians that were waived, however, that changed and a guy I knew that had about seven years in SF was dropped as he still had his Canadian citizenship and not a US. He lost his clearance and left 3/7 in 82 or 83 if I remember correctly.
