Should i join the US military after getting my green card?

hello!

since i was a kid my two biggest dreams have been joining the military and moving to the US. A couple of months ago i found out that i have a very clear pathway of achieving the latter through the EB3 visa as a nurse. Its not gonna be easy, but it is possible.

my second goal however, looks harder to achieve. Unfortunitely my country (norway) does not allow everyone who is qualified and willing to get conspripted( i think that sentence is gramatically incorrect, but what i mean is military duty). we simply dont have enough recources to let those who want to join in. To add to that, who and who doesnt get conscripted is random and not everyone gets the chance to get tested. because of that, the only way i can join the norwegian military is through getting a bachelors degree in the military. the bachelors degree is useless on its own in the civilian world and i would have to serve a minimum of three years in the military afterwards.

for those reasons it seems like joining the norwegian military is not going to happen. However as long as i have a green card it should theoretically be possible for me to join the US military.

however i will be quite old when i finally get the oppurtunity to do so.

at 22 i will be finished with my nursing degree.

at 24-25 i will hopefully be finished with the immigration process.

after that i will have to finish the contract with the employer that sposnored my green card. Im guessing that will take between 1-3 years.

so i will in theory be between 25 and 28 when i can enlist.

will that be too late for me? i will probably make more as a nurse than i will as a soldier. I will also be at a time in my life where i would want set myself up financially. I will aslo be at a time where i probably want to find a girl to settle down with. Military life is not always compatible with those two

the main argumenst for joining the military is that its been my dream since i was a kid. Its valuable experience and i will get to meet new people and travel new places. But can i get naturalized quicker if i serve in the military? can the military help me with getting another degree if i have served? or is that right reserved for those born in the US? i want to become a NP or PA but education is expensive

i want to become a medic in the military. Either in the navy as a corpsman or in the army as combat medic. i believe my nursing experience will be relevant

what are your thoughts? i would love to hear your perspective!
