What could a 20 year old turning 21 next month do if he wants to be a USMC officer but is only a Green card holder could he enlist first although he already have a 4 year degree from a US accredited institution then after he has his citizenship will he be allowed to attend an officer's program then??? or should he just wait until next year for his citizenship before doing anything??? would he still be qualified to be an officer???

Talk to a recruiter. Enlist and do your best. The time will go by, you will get your citizenship, have a good record, and should be accepted into OCS.
GOOD LUCK!!!

okay, if you have a degree, you can probably join as enlisted and they speed up ur citizenship and it can take as little as 9 - 12 months. Once your a citizen, if your good enough they'll select you for officer candidate school.

You have to be a U.S. citizen to hold a commission in the armed forces. You also have to possess a degree from an accredited U.S. institution.

you can sing up as entlisted or officer but you can only serve up to 8 years with a green card, but once you're in the service they can speed up your citizenchip and you can serve as many years as you can stand
