How to Join the US armed forces ?

Question

IF I do not have a US citizenship!!!!! I Want to serve this country ,(which I consider to be my HOME) maybe become an Officer of the greatest forces on the planet!!!!

Answer 1

Go to a recruiting station.

Answer 2

You just find a recruiter and go talk to him/her. Or go to the web-site of the branch you want to join, like www.army.mil and you should find plenty of information there. Once you've been in the U.S. military for awhile, it's really easy for you to gain your US citizenship, you don't even have to pay the application fees and all that. We have a friend from another country who is in the Army, he is now a citizen and is currently at Officer Candidate School.

Answer 3

You can join the same way that everyone else does! Go to the recruiting station and fill out the paper work, get checked out at the closest meps station, and than sign all the paper work! When I went throw Basic there was a girl from Russia going throw basic too.

Answer 4

You do not have to be an American citizen to join our Armed Services but you do have to be one to apply for a commission (i.e. to become an officer).

Look up the yellow pages for an Armed Forces recruiter near you and call them up or drop by for a chat. They'll be delighted to talk to you!

Answer 5

We have quite a number of forces that are not US citizens. I would talk to a recruiter to get the nitty gritty requirement on your qualifications.

Answer 6

You don't need to be a citizen and you can even become one while serving.

Check it out with a recruiter.

Answer 7

I can only suggest you go to the nearest recruiting station and inquire about this.

Answer 8

Yes, you DO have to be a citizen to enlist. Or in the process of getting your citizenship. EG.
2–4. Citizenship
a. Applicant is eligible for enlistment if any of the following applies:
(1) Citizen of the United States.
(2) Alien who has been lawfully admitted to the United States for permanent residence.
(3) National of the United States.
(4) Citizens (to include naturalized citizens) of the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM), Palau, and the Republic
of the Marshall Islands (RMI).
(5) Applicants and enlistees will be advised that, if they are not a U.S. Citizen, U.S. National, or a citizen of the
FSM, Palau, or the RMI that they must obtain U.S. citizenship to remain in the U.S. Army for more than 8 years.
b. Documents to verify eligibility include (return all documents to applicant after proper citizenship entries are made
on the DD Form 1966):
(1) For U.S. citizens.
(a) Birth certificate.
(b) INS Form N–550/551/570 (Naturalization Certificate).
(c) INS G–845 (Verification Request).
(d) U.S. passport.

(h) FS Form 240 (Report of Birth Abroad of U.S. Citizens).
(i) Tribal card (not expired) or letter from tribal council for American Indians born in Canada under the Jay Treaty.
(2) For aliens. Applicants must present their INS Form I–551 (Permanent Residence Card) showing that the person
has been admitted to the United States for permanent residence. INS I–551 cards issued after 1989 are only valid for 10
years and must be renewed. Additionally, any INS I–551 card with an expiration date within 6 months of the accession
date must be renewed. Applicants with expired cards keep their permanent residence status; however, they must apply
for renewal of their permanent residence status INS I–551 card and must obtain verification in the form of an original
receipt from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services indicating that the applicant has paid for an INS I–90
(Application to Replace Permanent Resident) renewal application prior to shipment to training. INS I–151 cards are no
longer valid and applicant must obtain an INS I–551 card. Resident alien cards without the picture of the applicant are
invalid for enlistment purposes. Resident aliens must provide proof of place of birth.
