As a resident alien you can enlist in the US Armed Forces. To become a linguist, you must hold a security clearance which you cannot do as a resident alien - you must be a naturalized citizen. So...enlist, use your honorable discharge at the end of your first enlistment to file for citizenship and once you have it re-enlist and then apply for the DLAB school. Linked below is some basic enlistment information including resident alien requirements for joining. You can also contact a recruiter via this site.
