No idea. Since it's SF they probably require citizenship, are you a citizen? Contact your nearest Navy recruiting station.

It depends on the branch of service when enlisting. In the Army, Army National Guard, and Army Reserve, there are more jobs available that don't require a secret clearance when enlisting. In the Air F

Good thing is once you manage to get into whichever branch, you can work it that you have citizenship immediately after graduating basic training, you have to set it up with the recruiter and MEPS ahead of time though....you'll have a naturalization ceremony the same day of graduation even if worked out right.

Air Force was kinda funny about doing the naturalization while at BMT. They only did one token one for my wife's class even though several were qualified and wanting naturalization.

But she graduated BMT the end of May and was a US citizen by the first part of August, after applying as military applicant the first week of June. So it took just 2 months from application to citizenship after basic training.

28. 30 with a wavier. You must also be a U.S. citizen////

To clarify you must be 18-28. 29-30 need a waiver.

Also you can join the AF until age 39, the army until 35, navy until 34, and marines until 28.

The AF age limit is a recent change from 27.
