You could probably visit the nearest US Embassy and ask for the facts there, or I think you could just come and visit the US and see an Army recruiter and enlist. You could'nt become an officer untill you have citizenship, which you can be granted by serving for four years (I think).
Interesting topic.
US Embassy in Paris http://www.amb-usa.fr/ would be a good place to start.
I think they only have 50000 odd green cards up for grabs in the lottery world wide every year. France would only get a small percentage of those positions available.
Have a look at this thread http://www.militaryphotos.net/forums...22aa6431e2436f for the members opinions on serving in a military not your own. IMO I reckon your ambitions are set at a more realistic level than old mate who wants to be a SEAL and you probably have a greater chance of meeting your goal.

Anyway thanks very much to everybody for your answers. Well as I understood, the first thing I gotta do is to ask for a Green card of something like that. I thought there were special permanent resident cards (facilities) for foreigners who want to enlist into the Army, is that right ?
What do you mean Digrar ? I don't have all my chances to get a visa for the USA ?I think they only have 50000 odd green cards up for grabs in the lottery world wide every year. France would only get a small percentage of those positions available.
By the way, what have I got to ask at the US Ambassy to get that Green card ? What are the steps ? Thanks to explain me in details for those who did or those who know !
Obviously you are the stupid one if you didn't understand what I was insinuating with the 2 alinea's.

Again you got it wrong dummie, I'm not from that part of the world.
Would it be possible to get back to the topic and my questions please...
I'm pretty sure you don't need to have a green card to enlist@Gatling : Je suis en recrutement dans l'Armée de l'Air actuellement j'aime pas les paras

I read this article in some Finnish magazine that was about foreigners going to US army, and it said just this; that there's a very good change you can enlist by merely applying for the green card and that people going for the army get it very easily...
Anyway, I'll see if I can find article from somewhere and translate it for you.
Hehe fantastic ! that's a pretty good news for me
I hope you'll be able to find out that article again it would be really helpful !
If anyone could tell me more about that... concerning steps...
Re: I'd like to enlist into the US Army, need help !
Translator/interpreter...hey that's my job! (in the Air Force, but same basic thing). Unfortunately for that you need a top secret security clearance, which probably requires you to be a full citizen. If you enlist, then the job isn't as glamorous as it may sound. Most of the time you will not translate between people, but rather sit in an office and go over documents, or recordings and such. Maybe, like if you were deployed, they will use your skills for other things, but not usually on a day-to-day basis.
Whatever you do, good luck. If you do get the translator job, maybe I will see you around someday.
I worked at the US consulate here in Perth for 12 months in 2001/2002, we had a few people try and enlist in the US military from here in Australia and also try to get imigration visas so they could enlist in the US military. None succeeded, the Military Attache tried to help but to no avail. I don't know if it would be easier to enlist once you are in the US on a normal travel visa.
As for visas there are different types, there are visas for students (where you need to be enroled in a US school), for work (you need a job with a company in the US that is approved by the consular section) for spouses (you need a wife who is a US citizen) for travel (if you don't leave on time you become an illegal) then there is the lottery where they give out about 50000 immigration visas a year divided by zones around the world and like any lottery you need to be very lucky to get one.
You need to find out how you can get into the country and then enlist. If you try and do a dodgy then you have every chance of being denied entry and possibly not allowed to enter the country ever again. Seek consular advice and military attache advice, they are the ones who are going to approve your visa so get the information straight from the horses mouth.
Hello Digrar,
Thanks for your answer, well if I call the US Ambassy in Paris for a visa to enlist into the US Army, what visa have I got to ask ?
=> That one ?for work (you need a job with a company in the US that is approved by the consular section)
Or there is a special visa (or authorization) for foreign people who intend to enlist into the Military ?
