Go start your own private army. Or be a mercenary. They actually have training camps in need of hired guns.

I wanted to be a U.S. Marshall but have to be a U.S. citizen for that. Anyone know of any other special services where you don't have to be a citizen? That's the only requirement I can't meet.

You should concider yourself lucky that you don't qualify to be in the military. Whether you believe in the cause that is being fought for or not, war is not fun. Movies glamourize war, but they get retakes. What are your reasons for wanting to be in the military?

If your not particular about what army to serve in try the frnch foreign legion (green berets) they accept EVRYONE only thing is their training regimen is brutal. only the strong survive. But if you do you will be among the select few and will be among the first on the field wherever wars happen.

You can join but it will take you a while to get into the US Forces. If you emmigrate to the US and get a green card, you can join. I'm not sure what the age cut off is....but we do take a certain number of Caribbean nationals into our military academies every year. Call the US Emb and ask to speak to someone in the MLO (Military Liaison Office) and ask them.

Have you thought about the British Royal Marines??? That is an option as well due to the relationship between Bim and the UK. Call the British High Commission and ask for the Naval Captain. I'm not sure who's there anymore .... they run recruiting through the Caribbean all the time. You take an exam, pass some physical fitness tests and you are in.

If you want to know who to talk to specifically, I can find out. The funny thing is.....if you came to the Embassy a few years ago.....It might have been me .... or someone from my staff that talked to you.
