Can foreign-born American citizens join the Military?
Yes. U.S. Citizens or Permanent Resident Aliens (people who have an INS I-151/I-551 "Green Card") may join the U.S. Military.
Can people join the U.S. Military if they are not American citizens?
Non-citizens may enlist, but cannot reenlist (extend their enlistment beyond their first term of service) unless they become naturalized U.S. citizens. However, after service of three years, additional residency requirements for citizenship can be waived. The Military does not assist in immigration naturalization process.

turning out to be a member of the army is a prevalent dedication. it particularly is in comparison to countless different job and stop once you do no longer like it anymore. I spent 4 years interior the Marine Corps and enjoyed it. the only reason i did no longer reenlist became because of the fact I met my spouse and that i wanted to start up a kin. I even have had 6 different kin that have joined the Marine Corps and that all of them nevertheless say that the omit it. it particularly is a very no longer undemanding determination now that the prospect of being deployed right into a wrestle zone is assured. The Marine Corps is great in case you opt for to be a piece of a team that prospers on it particularly is historic previous and traditions. undergo in innovations, no count number what job you're taking interior the Marine Corps, you're continually a rifleman (GRUNT).

My brother's a Marine I'll ask him and get back to you.
OK. I just asked him and he said you only have to give a social security number. If you can contact a recruiter maybe through the website then they can give you more info. And just like the guy above me says they need people so maybe they'll take you. My brother said the same thing.
