Hello everyone!

My question is: Are there chances for employment in the US-Army for foreigners?

If yes, what are the conditions (i.e age, fittness, tests etc.)

What is the pay?

Yes, non citizens can join and also obtain citizenship via that route if they choose to.
My brother was a Marine for 16 years and served in Iraq and Afghanistan with several guys in his unit who were not US citizens, most were hispanic but a few were from other countries, he said they were all great soldiers and he regularly put his life in their hands
I know the pay for a Marine starts off around $37,000 my brother had been in for 16 years and retired last august, he was making a little more than $60,000 when he retired and now gets a pension though not as big as it would have been if he stayed the 20 years.

Thank you very much for the informations Kelly. I will check the link. 

37000 doesn't sound so bad. Is there free healthcare like in the British Army too?

[KellyMaureen]

Yes free healthcare and benefits such as dental, medical, orthodontics etc for yourself and wife and children should you have any 

[Toddy]

Yes this is great. I will look for contact addresses. I have nearly 1 year until I will finish my service. Lot's of time to prepare. Thank you very much.
