The only way it is possible is for him to obtain a Permanent Alien Resident Card (I-551).  To get this card will take "about" two years.  He will first have to apply for immigration status, and get his Temporary Alien Resident card.  Once his status goes to "Permanent", he may then join the US Army.  Also, all of his documents (education, military release, birth cert) will have be translated by a certified translator at his expense.\n\nHis rank will NOT transfer.\n\nWish I could help more.

You would need to go to the nearest military installation (I know Fort Sill is in OK, not sure where it is in relation to you though). Since you do not have a military ID, you will need to get a visitor's pass to get through the gate - this will require checking in at an office with your driver's license, vehicle registration, and proof of insurance. Once in the gates you need to head to the DEERS office. (It stands for Defense Eligibility Enrollment and Registration System, or something similar to that.) You will need proof of your relationship to the servicemember (birth certificate, marriage license, adoption papers, etc), your birth certificate, photo ID, and possibly other paperwork. I would try to call before you go and find out what you need related to your specific circumstances. You may also need to either have the servicemember with you or a have a power of attorney (at the office here they require a special DEERS power of attorney, stating that you are authorized to enroll the SM's dependants - some places may accept a general power of attorney).

You don't have to be a citizen to join the military, but you do have to be a legal resident.  The best thing to do is talk to the visa section at the American Consulate in what ever country you live.\n\nThe first soldier killed in Iraq was not an undocumented alien.  \n\nLOS ANGELES — One of the first U.S. servicemen killed in combat in Iraq was not a citizen of the country for which he sacrificed his life.\n\nLance Cpl. Jose Gutierrez, 22, a rifleman with the Marines, died in a firefight March 21 near Umm Qasr. \n\nBorn in Guatemala, Gutierrez held permanent U.S. resident status, which he obtained in 1999. \n\n\nThere have been several legal aliens killed in Iraq which were given citizenship after they were killed.

The military is no longer accepting packages or letters addressed to generic Soliders/Sailors/Airmen/Marines.  You MUST Have a full name and address.\n\nYour best bet is to adopt a  Unit, possibly from a nearby base or Reserve unit, and use the Rear Det(person left behind to run interferance) as your liason.  They can also provide you with wish lists as well as alist of prohibited items.  Many Lgions and VFW posts have also adopted units, so you can also check there to see if they have any extra people who could use a pick me up.

First of all he is going to have a hard time mainly because he is of a Muslim background. They will give him the run around unless he has a good reason for coming to America. You can look at the website as much as you want. They will not tell you the whole process that they will try to put him through. I have been working in Germany at the airport and had to deal with people who wanted to come to America for 5 years and I also know what they do at the American Embassy. You need to get someone who will sponsor him or that are willing to watch over him and have a place that he will stay. May I add; You and that person will under surveillance for a long time. They will also probably make a background check on you. Hope I was able to help you.

You need a green card or be a US citizen to join the military.Visas will not qualify you for enlistment.\n\nCitizenship for a green card holder in the military is fast tracked, usually from what I've seen someone will obtain citizenship by the end of their initial contract.But you would need to speak to a recruiter about that to get specifics.\n\nAs for a foreign legion the US doesn't have anything of the like and only takes green card holders or US citizens.

I recommend that you stay in school and see if you can get involved in the ARMY Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC),    You will have to seek US citizenship as quickly as possible.  \n\nAs an underclassman, you may be eligible for ROTC classes that are non-obligatory, which means that you don't have to sign a contract.  But you will learn much of the military history and discipline that troops are trained in.  You will learn about military ethics and leadership skills.  You will learn that the United States military has a civilian army, so you are allowed to think and have your own ideas. \n\nThe military is not a democracy, but it does serve to protect this republic and the leaders that we have placed in power.  So regardless of political party that is in power, the military will serve.

You must be a permanent legal resident of the United States..as in a Green Card Holder.  You can not enlist in any branch of the military without being a Green Card Holder.  The military cannot and will not assist you in getting to the United States nor can they help with INS/ICE paperwork

I hope you have a great understanding of the German language.  It is a beautiful country and I can really understand why you would want to stay there.\n\nDoes the base that you are on have a family support center?  Also, I know when my husband got out of the AF, they provided a transition program to help him adjust to civilian life.  You might be able to check those out.\n\nOtherwise, I'd suggest you make friends with some of the local residents there and start asking questions.

YES!!! In fact I served in the army (but I know this applies to ALL US military branches) with many people who did not have a US citizenship (and were not looking to GET one) who were in the military. Talk to your local recruiter they will help you go through the proper paperwork, IF you ARE looking to get US Citizenship joining the military can help actually speed up the process, and they encourage it!

If you become a citizen then you can join.  I'm not sure if you'd have to give up your US citizenship or not, but I wouldn't think so.  The JSDF was started with the help of the US, so you'll find the structure and uniforms very similar to ours.  You'll also have to decide on which branch you'd want to go into.  Just remember that you're still considered a citizen over there and not a member of a standard military.
