You don't have to be a US citizen to enlist. However, federal law prohibits non-citizens from becoming commission or warrant officers.
You can enlist if you are a legal immigrant with a green card and you have a permanent resident in the US. The green card must have sufficient time remaining on it (expiration date) to be valid during the entire term on enlistment.
Even though non-citizens may enlist in the US Military, they are not allowed to reenlist (stay in beyond their first term of service), unless they first become US citizens.
While non-citizens may enlist, they will find their job choices extremely limited. DOD policy prohibits granting security clearances to non-US citizens. Therefore, non-citizens who enlist in the US military will be limited to those jobs which do not require a security clearance.
Not all non-citizens may be eligible to enlist. Applicants who have been residents of countries considered hostile to the interests of the United States require a waiver.
Go talk to a recruiter about your coises of MOSs. He will not help you get a green card if you don't have one, and might not be very interested in you until you have one since recruiters are extremely busy, but I wish you luck and hope you find a job that fits you!
