Recently, President George H.W. Bush and his son President George W. Bush signed executive orders which allowed any military member (active duty, Reserves, or National Guard) to apply for citizenship, without any residency requirement. These orders also covered veterans of certain designated past wars and conflicts. This saves the military member five years on the civilian applicant for citizenship so when you hear the military help you accelerate the process, this is what that means.
