Hooray... I finally found the info to prove that I could possibly be in the us army... But Im not sure, requirements for being in the us army:

Between the ages of 17 and 34 - Im 16 but Im going to be trying out when Im 18

A U.S. Citizen or Permanent Resident Alien - nope, Im lost and confused

Healthy and in good physical condition - check thats easy enough but I gotta grow some more muscles

In good moral standing - Id say that I have good moral standing but maybe thats just me

the one part that I dont get, maybe someone can tell me what it means; Permanent Resident Alien... WiGFN does that mean? I think it means basically - Az told me this too I believe - Id need something like a green card to apply? If so then thats a good thing... Gotta pull up my marks for international student applications though :? if I want to get into a US school for something and then get a student card/greencard.........

Yes, you need a green card to get in the military if you are not a naturalized U.S. citizen. You do not need to be naturalized. Every once in awhile you will see a news story about hundreds of servicemembers getting their citizenship at a large ceremony. This is because they were all permanent resident aliens with green cards. Now, how do you go about this fantastic journey of wonder and merriment? I have no idea, sorry, but I've been slacking on my Dept. of the Interior policies.

I would say that there has to be some form of pre-entry program for high school students where as a civilian you could earn credits until you are old enough to legally join, maybe as a officer at that spud ?

As far as what Canada has too offer, talk to somebody at your school that will be something for you to investigate. Ask Azrael, he may know of some contacts ?

I was planning on trying to get into a military college of some kind - I would like a state's one. I think its two months of being in a US college and then you can apply for a student card then a green card right after that ? Or a year or some such lenth of time. I gotta read throgh all those links now but Ill look into it. Im taking courses such as American History, and so forth in school so I believe that I could get a firm grasp on American History. Math is different - you guys are royal or imperial? Measurements but I dont know if the difference applies to the US army or not, wouldnt it be smarter to be on par with the rest of the world and understand what other foreign troops are saying?

Anyway, I have alot of studying to do.

Does anyone know if they have an online version of the ASVAB? The Canadian Army does and I got stuff like General Infantry, some french special group - special forces I dont know but I dont know much french (i never paid any attention in school

) so bleh - engineer, explosives engineer, explosive ordinance disposal - I suppose if you mess up you wont feel anything

.... There was about 8 or so more possible tasks/careers that I could do but Id like to see what the US army has to offer for me as well... But I guess I could travel to a NY recruiter - my uncle, someone who supports me joining the army, will take me if I have a plan on getting there.

Yea I believe that we are still part of the common wealth but Im not quite sure. We're self governing so prehaps we arent but I think we still have some kind of ties.

Like giz said, you could, uh, live in the united states for five years. Get to know the people and what you're defending (truth, justice, apple pie, fields of grain, etc). Learn some of the national jokes, like Arnold Schwarzeneggar being governor, Martha Stewart, Hollywood, people from New Jersey are bad drivers, etc. Learn how to break a bottle, how to punch someone without breaking fingers or leaving bruises, how to get the extra donut without paying in a cafe, etc. Then apply for US citizenship. Slap bang, instant blue card.
