I think so\nbut you need to talk to your recruiter in your area.\nplus most likely you can if you pick an area of work\nthat requires you to in an office or something like that...and no front line stuff\nso go look into it..I bet you can\nGood Luck

If you never come to U.S before, probably, you can't.  However, for 100% accurate you should contact directly with place you would like to have fellowship, they may answer you.

Yes, you can enlist in the USAF.  It's a common misconception that you must be a US citizen to enlist in the US military.  That said, if you are not a US citizen many career fields are closed to you as they require a security clearance which is only given to US citizens.\n\nServing in the US military is a fast-track to US citizenship as well.  I believe that you can complete the necessary steps in 2 years if you are serving on active duty, vs 4 to 5 years as a civilian.  The rules were also changed a number of years ago so even if you are stationed outside the US (but NOT in the country of your nationality) that time counts as resident in the US for citizenship purposes.\n\nYou should keep an important fact in mind, however.  If you do not become a US citizen during your first term of service (normally 4 years) you will NOT be allowed to re-enlist.  For this reason, a 2-year Army enlistment is a bad idea.  Even a 4-year enlistment is actually cutting it close as you generally must be eligible for re-enlistment about 13 months prior to the end of your first term of service or you will be projected for separation on your expiration of term of service (ETS).  Since you must be a citizen to be eligible for re-enlistment you actually only have 35 months to complete citizenship.  Deduct 6 months from that for Basic Training, Tech School and On the Job Training at your first duty station (You'll be WAY to busy to work on citizenship training!) and your left with 29 months -- 5 months leeway.\n\nI've known and counselled many young men and women on this in my 21 years of service, and watched a few who did not know the rules be forced out because they didn't become citizens in time, or didn't want to become US citizens.\n\nAnd one final observation.  Most of the young Canadians that I worked with on getting their US citizenship absolutely sailed through the learning and testing requirements.  Seems that you folks get a better education in US government and history than many American youth.

It is possible for immigrants to gain admission to the US aremed forces. I have served with quite a few. However, not an illegal immigrant. There aren't FBI clearance checks for entry, but there is a very rigorous background check. Including an AFIS and NCIC checks, DMV check and the one most any illegal will fail, is the most simple. The records from the high school they graduated from. No diploma, no entry. Yes there are exceptions, called a GED window, but your high school transcripts must be included with the GED certification. There is a minimalist background investigation, but it is there nontheless. But no. There are not illegal immigrants in the US armed forces, and anyone who says so is simply misinformed. I spent 12 years of my life in an intel unit, providing preliminary background checks to the FBI for securuity clearance investigations. The process for entry alone prohibits their entry. There are just too many different things they would have to fake, and it would be the little things that would get them caught. And the penalties for trying to enlist as an illegal are very severe. VERY severe. Crimes against the State, Federal Penitentiary, Leavenworth Ks., severe. That's why I can say there are NO illegal immigrants in the service. If they are there illegally, they have a new title. They are promoted instantly from illegal alien status to spy. \nDon't believe everything you hear. YES there is a legal way to enlist, if you are from a foreign nation. And it's NOT that hard to do. If you're serious about enlisting, I would strongly suggest you contact the area MEPS (Military Enlistment Processing Station) and ask to speak to the NCOIC about advice as to what you would require. It sounds to me like the recruiter you spoke with simply doesn't want to have to deal with the added paperwork. Here on a student visa? Explore joining the ROTC program at your school, also.\nI wish you the best of luck.

First, you could become an officer in another US service and then request inter-service transfer to the Marine Corps.\n\nSecond, the Marine Corps has three options for officers:\n\nAir, Ground, and Law.\n\n\nThe Law option allows you to go to Law school and then enter the Marine Corps as an officer.\n\nAlso, there is a waiver for everything. If the answer is no, it's no. All you have to do is ask.\n\nMy recommendation is to become an intelligence officer in the US Navy and then transfer to the US Marine Corps.

If you are not a US resident, you cannot join the US armed forces.  These are the requirements for residency.  You must have:\n\n      (1) Entered the United States on a permanent residence visa or has an Alien Registration Receipt Card (INS Form 1-551/I-551 greencard or stamped I-94), and\n\n      (2) Established a bona fide residence, and\n\n      (3) Established a home of record in the United States.

Well if are really interested in gettinf into the armed force... first of all you must make up your mind which brach(service) to join up first....\n\nThen make sure you have the minimum required eligiblity criteria for the service opting for (army,airforce and navy... each have different physical requirement)\n\nThen keep an eye on the employement new?rozgar samachar.... you will find advirtisments calling for CDSE exams.... remember only gradtuates are eligible and also make sure of your age limit as stipulated (varies for certain categories like reserved caste or for people from the N.E...etc...)\n\nThen after you fillup the form in the paper and send it (or even before that for those whom are really interested) try an get any CDSE guide or question bank..(any will do...even local... its just to give u the general idea of how the question will be.........)\nThe exams usually have basic simple mathematics,history,geography..etc..... i am sure you might not find it difficult to clear after you clear it (results will be put up on the official website a few days after the exam)...then comes the SSB interview which is something that might need a proffessional coaching to clear effectively.. its tough.. but if u r confident and have goo command over english and decent comm. skills along with proper physciological perception u will  get through.........

It depends on the university. Your best bet would be to contact the admissions office of the university and see if they have a policy regarding military training. You may be able to defer your acceptance (push it back a semester or a  year) so that you'll be able to fulfill your military obligation and then start college.

I want to be in the military. And that stuff that one person said about not being educated is so not true. I have the 3rd highest GPA in my school and my parents are more than happy to pay for college, its the fact that our country needs our help right now that i want to join. and that person who said that is just on of the countless Americans who take our freedom and our way of life for granted. I AM WITH YOU ALL THE WAY!! I think its great that you want to join

Try joining the military services, especially the National Guard

You need a green card or be a US citizen to join the military.Visas will not qualify you for enlistment.\n\nCitizenship for a green card holder in the military is fast tracked, usually from what I've seen someone will obtain citizenship by the end of their initial contract.But you would need to speak to a recruiter about that to get specifics.\n\nAs for a foreign legion the US doesn't have anything of the like and only takes green card holders or US citizens.

Depends on your age. If your under the age limit, then yes. That is if your talking Active duty. The best way is to talk to a Recruiter. If your talking National Guard or Reserves then you should have a good chance joining. You may have to go through basic again, that is if your considering Active Duty. Again, if your talking National Guard or Reserves, your previous basic training would probably be waived.

I know from personnel experience that you can do it. I have served my country for over 18 years as a US Army Ranger and was fortunate to pass my first time through. Not all make it the first time. I was 17 and in great shape. The younger you are the better. The Darby Queen will get most of the people in your group. But hang on and don't give up.

With a law degree, almost any branch would be jumping for you.  The big part would be to pass OCS (officer canidate school)  where they teach you to lead troops.  I've never gone, but it sounds like a tougher boot camp than the one I went to.  As long as you are physically and mentally able to hack it, I'm sure you'd be sent to the legal section.  Your recruiter would be able to confirm that with the contract he draws up for you.  You'll know all the legal jargon by then and can read for yourself exactly what you are being promised.  If it's not to your satisfaction, have him change it or look to a different branch of service until you find what you want.

Seems to me that if you join the U.S. military and live in the U.S. for the time that it takes to get citizenship, you wouldn't need a visa after that.\n\nThere is also the method of getting married.  So, what's under that kilt?  We might negotiate something .....  ;o)\n\nSue

They can and do. Permanent resident aliens were subject to the draft (subject to certain treaties with foreign countries, notably Switzerland, viz. the Moser case http://supreme.justia.com/us/341/41/case.html ) and have always been eligible to enlist. Expedited naturalization is available to them.\n\nFilipinos before 1946 and other noncitizen nationals (today that refers only to inhabitants of American Samoa and Swains Island) served in the US Forces. Until 1991 Filipinos could serve in the US Navy. http://www.inq7.net/opi/2003/jul/20/opi_rjfarolan-1.htm\n\nOnce enlisted (only US citizens can be commissioned officers) an alien national can be sent to serve anywhere, subject to limitations posed by the absence of a security clearance. (Thus s/he could not work in intelligence, or as a U.S. Marine Security Guard at an embassy.)\n\nWhile military service can hasten naturalization, it does not normally afford immigration rights. (For what it's worth, the French Foreign Legion likewise requires that candidates for enlistment already be legally in the country.)\n\nIn addition to aliens who are members of the US Forces, several foreign countries (most notably Britain) are still members of the so-called "coalition of the willing" and have troops in Iraq that, while not necessarily integrated with the US Forces, may work and fight alongside them. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multinational_force_in_Iraq (Wiki)
