How long does it take complete the citizenship process?
And I mean from beginning to end. And would it speed it up at all if my reason for getting it is to join the military? I know I can join as a non-citizen but I want to join either MP or aircrew mechanic and both require a citizenship. I'm 20 and live in lower eastern connecticut, been living in the us for 13 years and speak perfect english, no accent or anything. Most people even think I'm american until I tell them otherwise. I know none of that extra information means anything but thought I'd add it anyways.

Love when as# clowns feel the need to edit every bit of information on a note I wrote without editing. Sorry, didn't realize this paper was going to be graded professor. How about you give back without the narcissistic garbage, thanks. Aircrew mechanic for dummies: for those who found it far too difficult understand what I meant. I want to get a job that has anything to do with air plane tech, maintenance and repair

Well if you are legal then it will take you six months to do it
Well my process it didn't take that long… it took like 5 month…. any ways here are the timelines
These timeline are based upon USCIS - Los Angeles field office.

You are correct about that extra information. But since you added it, allow me to give you some feedback.
I have to take your word for the presumably perfect English you speak, but I seriously hope you will learn to write "perfect" English as well. Start with capitalizing 'Connecticut, English, and American.' Then take out the 's' from anyway. Finally, tell me how you can join the aircrew mechanic, 'cause that's what you wrote. Yep, read it, then read it again.
You won't know how bad your English is until you can't find a job and wonder why. Being able to communicate in English properly is something you will need to be able to do, no matter what career you chose, short of flipping burgers or parking cars.
That said, the whole naturalization process from beginning to end takes about 4 months. There are people who got done in 11-1/2 weeks, some have waited 5 months and longer, and I personally have a friend who is now waiting for 7+ years. Seriously.
