Until then you can enlist as long as you&#39;re a legal resident.

You need to be a US Citizen n order to become a Commissioned Officer. That requirement is not applicable for enlisting in the service. If your interests is to serve, then I suggest to get your SW state license, enlist in a related field and as soon as you get your citizenship, then apply for a direct commission. for further information, contact the Army Medical Recruiting Brigade. <br /><br /><a target="_blank" href="https://recruiting.army.mil/MRB_MedicalServices/">https://recruiting.army.mil/MRB_MedicalServices/</a> <div class="pta-link-card answers-template-image type-default"> <div class="pta-link-card-picture"> <img src="https://d26horl2n8pviu.cloudfront.net/link_data_pictures/images/000/465/218/qrc/logo.png?1576089051"> </div> <div class="pta-link-card-content"> <p class="pta-link-card-title"> <a target="blank" href="https://recruiting.army.mil/MRB_MedicalServices/"> Medical Services</a> </p> <p class="pta-link-card-description">This page includes resources for professionals who would enter the medical services corps.</p> </div> <div class="clearfix"></div> </div> MAJ Javier Rivera Wed, 11 Dec 2019 13:31:10 -0500 2019-12-11T13:31:10-05:00 https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/as-a-social-work-enthusiast-with-a-potential-permanent-resident-status-can-i-qualify-to-join-the-army-swip-after-my-msw-degree?n=5346616&urlhash=5346616 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>No, you have to be an officer for the program and you have to be a citizen to be an officer CPT Private RallyPoint Member Sun, 15 Dec 2019 15:11:30 -0500 2019-12-15T15:11:30-05:00 2019-12-11T01:41:35-05:00
