No, but if you are a legal immigrant, you can. Military service can make your time spent waiting on citizenship much shorter. My brother in law immigrated from the Dominican Republic. He came over as a child illegally, got his legal status, then joined the military. He is now an officer in the Air Force. He became a U.S. citizen within his first tour in the Air Force. My advice, become a legal immigrant. Good luck to you. I hope it works out.

Actually that is a good way to become a legal immigrant. Go to your local recruiter or if you get shipped back to the country of origin go to the US embassy and they can set you up in no time I doubt they will hold your illegal status against you as they are desperate for recruits.
