You CAN join the United States military as a non-citizen, however, you will have to be a Green Card/visa holder and legally living in the United States or its territories.
Current Army regulations prohibit granting a Security Clearance, to non-U.S. citizens. Additionally, some Army jobs may only be performed by U.S. citizens, regardless of Security Clearance requirements. There are many jobs in the military that require a security clearance, such as Special Operations, Armor, Air Defense Artillery, Military Police, Intelligence, Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear Specialist as well as the Officer Corps. These are the types of jobs that require Secret to Top Secret Security Clearances that only citizens may hold.
However, if a legal non-citizen joins the military and naturalizes to become a citizen of the United States, he/she will be able to obtain any job in the military that they qualify for and be granted security clearances if required. Below are Army jobs that can be performed by Non-U.S. Citizens:
