00:00.540 --> 00:02.820
Yeah from soldiers , radio and

00:02.820 --> 00:05.430
television this is the army now . Staff

00:05.430 --> 00:07.652
Sergeant Rodrigo Man DACA took the oath

00:07.652 --> 00:09.900
of allegiance at Camp Bond Steel Kosovo

00:09.910 --> 00:13.390

00:13.390 --> 00:15.557
many doors for Staff Sergeant Mendonca

00:15.557 --> 00:17.501
who has lived in the United States

00:17.501 --> 00:20.030
since he was seven years old . But like

00:20.040 --> 00:21.929
Miss Hutchins says I can get a US

00:21.929 --> 00:23.818
passport there . There's a lot of

00:23.818 --> 00:25.984
things that you can't do even though I

00:25.984 --> 00:28.096
was a permanent resident and I served

00:28.096 --> 00:30.262
in the military for 13 years , most of

00:30.262 --> 00:32.484
which was active duty . There's still a

00:32.484 --> 00:34.651
lot of things that I could not do vote

00:34.651 --> 00:36.670
travel um you know outside of the

00:36.670 --> 00:40.560
country freely things of that nature .

00:41.040 --> 00:44.530
Yeah security clearances . You're no

00:44.530 --> 00:46.752
longer able to get a security clearance

00:46.752 --> 00:49.030
without us citizenship in the military .

00:49.030 --> 00:52.730
So so it opens up a few doors and makes

00:52.730 --> 00:55.550
life easier . But it feels good . Mhm .

00:56.040 --> 00:58.360
Mhm . That's the army now .
