Hi agent 99,
I don't think you should look at it as trying to by pass the American immigration laws. I wanted to join because to me flying in the Army seems to be very exciting. I think it is a very good start of a flying career. Especially for someone young. After having served in the army I would still have been somewere around 30.. more then enough years left to fly straight and level to oil rigs.
I looked at the Army as one of the possible employment opportunities.. wouldn't you consider everything when you are starting off in this career?
I would have enlisted if I wanted to ''by pass'' the American immigration laws. I have a good job back home but I still participate in the Green Card lottery.. there is nothing wrong with wanting to live somewere you like it..
