Green Card: Generally,  have the resident permit in the US gives you a certain level of recognition in areas of Military Jobs application. You are almost treated as a citizen and if your application is successful, you get a US passport after Basic Combat training. Of course this is usually after accepting to naturalize for the US.

DACA PROGRAM: One can enlist via the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). What DACA does is to provide person who came into th United States as kids/children from deportation. Under DACA, these non-citizens are eligible to seek relief via application/enlisting in the US Army. Originally, people under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) were protected because the program sought to address the failure of the DREAM Act legislation to pass both houses of Congress. As such, what President Obama did was to  initiate the immigration policy known as the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals in 2012 to help these immigrants. It is, however, unclear the state of the program now.  If one finds himself qualified under DACA, he can enlist into the army without problems.

MAVANI: The United States values intelligence and will not forsake quality skills in the army because one is not a citizen. The Military Accessions Vital to the National Interest makes sure that individuals who have skill set that is of interest to national security of the US are enlisted even if they are not citizens and do not have the right documentations. Person who are enlisted through MAVANI usually get US Citizenship after Basic Combat training. For example, if you have a language skills like Pashto and Farsi, you are highly qualified under MAVANI if you exhibit skills in engineering and medical health. This is because the US Army needs forces with such skills in Afghanistan.

A person who enlists in the army comes as a Private and upon completion of basic training, is recruited to Private First Class. From this point, a Non commissioned Officer  is the next notable advancement. The US Army has the five-star General as the highest rank.  The rank is reserved for wartime use and at the moment, it is not active. Most people call it the “five-star general”.

Processing of Military Applications

For the United States, military applications are usually accessed on site at the US Military recruitment base.  Usually, if the applicant has the right documentation and physical as well mental state, the rest is dependent on the military’s needs at the time of application. For a example, if the military needs people with training in medical unit and one proves to have those skills, it is likely they will have a better position than  other ones.

The US MILITARY HISTORY:

The US ARMY has been in existence since 1789 and over this period, it has become one of the greatest armies the world has ever seen. At the moment, it is made up of the Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Marine Corps, and Navy.

Air Force: It is the youngest branch and handles the aerial battles of the US Force. The members of the Air Force are called airmen and they are part of the U.S Department of Defence. Like other branches, it has a reserve; the Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve.

The Coast Guard: This is not part of the Department of Defence, it is part of Department of Homeland Security. Coast Guard Reserve is the reserve of this branch. This branch deals with maritime issues; battles and trafficking on the coast.
