Yes you can join the US Army and after a certain period of service put in for citizenship. Here is some of the information.
Recently, the Department of Defense partnered with the Immigration & Naturalization Service (INS) to assist active duty, non-citizen military members with citizenship applications. The Department of the Army directed its regionally dispersed Military Personnel Divisions (MPD) and Personnel Service Battalions (PSB) to serve as the local conduit to assist soldiers with their applications and to coordinate with PERSCOM as necessary. See the Army Member’s Guide to Citizenship Application, on the PERSCOM web site: http://www-perscom.army.mil/tagd/pssd/ins.htm.
These new procedures are for processing naturalization applications for active duty military members who submit an application for naturalization based upon qualifying military service. They supplement the INS A Guide to Naturalization (Form M-476).
Attached for your reference is a brochure from the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service entilled Naturalization Information for Military Personnel.
They have applications and more information, but the page was long.

Yes, I joined as a legal resident (born in Canada), back in 94' and at that time military service reduced the time you had to be legal in the US from 5 years to 3 years to get your citizenship. I am not sure the exact standards now, but I am sure you can get it pretty quickly.

Go here for the requirements. Go to their home page and click on the recruiters link on the right side of the page to get contact info for a recruiter. http://www.usarmy.com/army-jobs.html

If you are here legally, take your paperwork to the nearest recruiter. Honorable service guarentees citizenship. Plus, god forbid, you get badly wounded, they fast track the papers for you.
