Thank you everyone for the welcoming. It was definitely a proud day for me.
Yes, I'm in the military. The process took only, from the day I sent my application to taking the Oath of Allegiance, 45 days. Really quick, thanks to a bill signed by President Bush that expedites the process for military personnel. By the way, I didn't have to pay any fees (I think is around 500 dollars)
Again, thank you everybody.

Oh I was just kidding around.....a little jab for those in the 24/7 Bush-bash crowd here
. But congrats on getting your citizenship the legal way. Esp being military, you've already contributed to society here, so I fully agree with Bush's expediting the process for those in that position.

Spain. It's not really a "switch" but an additon. I won't lose my Spanish/European Union citizenship. I love this country and being a citizen is an honor and makes me proud, I'm just following in the footsteps of millions before me (your ancestors)

Good times.
You coming to NJC, Mariano? I'd be glad to raise my glass to ya in person.

Born in Barcelona, raised in Madrid, which is like --using a sports analogy-- being born in Yankee Stadium and raised in the Red Sox Stadium.
