You first have to actually move here, and apply for citizenship.

Step1
Verify that you qualify. You cannot enlist in the U.S. Army if you are currently on contract with another military service. If you have served in the military of another country, you cannot enlist unless you can prove that you finished your service and that there is no chance for a recall.
Step2
Document your status as a permanent resident of the United States. The army will accept non-U.S. citizens who have valid permanent residency cards in addition to other eligibility requirements. Your permanent residency card must have enough time on it for you to complete your enlistment.
Step3
Meet the other eligibility requirements. You must be at least 17 but not over 42, have a high school diploma and have no more than two dependents under the age of 18. Single parents cannot join the military.
Step4
Discover the enlistment term. The army restricts noncitizens to an 8-year service, which may be taken consecutively or not. After this time, non-U.S. service members must obtain citizenship to reenlist.
Step5
Know your limits. Service members who are not U.S. citizens cannot become commissioned or warrant officers. These ranks require a security clearance which is only available to U.S. citizens.
Step6
Examine the job descriptions. Non-U.S. citizens are restricted to jobs which do not require security clearances. These include such diverse positions as band member, diver, armor crewman, firefighter, machinist, journalist and mechanic.
Step7
Learn the locations of jobs for which you qualify. Although non-U.S. citizens are eligible for jobs which do not require a security clearance, these jobs may be performed in areas which require a security clearance.
Step8
Request a waiver if you want to join the army but are a citizen of, or have resided in, a country that is considered hostile by the United States. Your recruiter will provide information on these countries. Visit GoArmy.com to find a recruiter near you (see Resources below).
