Just because you have more bling on your rifle than everyone else doesn't make it a different rifle

Well, in that case...the US and Canadian Forces have identical weapon loadouts. (C7 = M16, C8 = M4, C9 = M249 SAW [both derived from the FN MINIMI], and C6 GPMG = M240 [again, both derived from the FN MAG])

So back to my original point. There's no real difference in weapons selection.

which one is more with the sea. Us navy seals or the canadian one and also if i do go the Us route can i keep my canadian citizenship

Technically you're supposed to give up any other citizenship if you become a US citizen but I've seen very few people actually adhere to that. However, if you are in the military, having a second citizenship may become a problem.

You'd still fall under NOFORN restrictions as a dual citizen as far as I know.

after giving it up is there anyway possibly to get it back?

Go through the naturalization process again in reverse?
At least that's the way it works over here.
You may have to do your own research on that one.

Both SEALs and JTF2 are Special Operations Forces, which means that they do relatively the same type of job, and go wherever they are needed. (ie: A JTF2 team is just as likely to perform an underwater insertion as a SEAL team.)

And as for the citizenship issue...yes, you can maintain a Canadian citizenship even after becoming a US Citizen. Both Canadian and American laws permit dual citizenship. And as far as I know, foreign military service does not force you to relinquish your Canadian citizenship. However, I'm not entirely sure about the rules within the US governing US Armed Forces service and dual citizenship.

Officially you're supposed to give up any other citizenship if you are a US citizen but it is not enforced and people generally do not adhere to it. At least that's how it was a couple of years back.

Cdt Matteo, your plans seem to be thought out well in advance... But a bit of advice on the SF dreams. If you become an infantry officer you probably will never bother with trying out for SF. I used to want to attempt Commando selection in Australia, but normal infantry activity keeps you busy enough... and as an officer most of the time it'll just be admin and justifying things.

And Cdt Matteo, you won't know what it's like in the real thing until you get to the real thing. Not saying it's not the same, I never served in the Canadian military nor have I been a cadet but a lot of other cadets think that their experience, which in many cases is like a watered down boot camp, is representative of military life.
Like AussieNick said, just get to infantry first.
