You can smoke in the longer AIT schools. Usually it goes by what phase you are in. Pass your PT test and you move on to the next phase which allows you to smoke, use chewing tobacco and go out. At least thats how it was in the 90's. My course was 32 weeks long back in 93-94. |
It depends on your training station. If they have the facilities to separate you from the rest of the AIT soldiers, you can drink and use tobacco past week 9 of AIT. If not, you'll be restricted to using tobacco and alcohol while on pass. Actually, you can (if of legal age, of course) use alcohol while on pass from the beginning of AIT. Tobacco is entirely prohibited until you're beyond week 9 of AIT.
Anyway, after reading up a bit, it would be quite a pain in the ass to join the US army. First, you have to get a residence visa with sufficient time to complete your enlistment. Second, you have to establish residence. Third, you have to establish a home of record within the US. You will not be eligible to reenlist unless you establish citizenship before the end of your first enlistment.
So, probably not the best plan. Go for the IDF or the FFL.

I had a friend who was born in Thailand, who joined the US Marine Corps. He had his green card though, which I believe it was you need to join the military if you weren't born a citizen. Your best bet would probably be the Royal Army or IDF.

Well I could have used this info a little sooner, I must admit. There's nothing more troubling than waking up in the cargo hold of a Chechyn patrol boat wearing some f*cked up uniform and being screamed at in pseudo Russian to go slit a goat's throat for dinner (without any previous memory of how or why you got there). I'm pretty sure Chechnya doesn't have any bodies of water, either - which made this groggy situation even harder on the already taxed mind 
In all seriousness, I am quite considering the IDF and Spanish Foreign Legion now... Again, this is an incredibly short term hell I'm planning, so they seem to have attractive offers. Ermm I'm a little too pressed for time online right now though, can I join up in the IDF and stick to ye old Queen's English?
I would never join the USMC... at least in Haifa I can run some sort of clandestine E operation. The American government will tell you that sugar water eats babies and funds terrorism if people start getting high off of it |

I'm not sure if you'll ever see combat though, and what your pay will be.
I think that if you seek pay, IDF isn't exactly the place to go. They expect more ideology or at least some sense of love for Israel. |
hi ,
what is three years of free univ worth nowadays , .......
the best for him shall be the IDF , or maybe the legion , but you dont get free education there after 18 months of service , .......
the pay in the legion aint that bad , but during the first year you have to pay for your kit , etc , ...... you only start to make some serious money there after 5 years , .....

No. Spanish Foreign Legion does not accept you even if you wanted to go. So, realistically options for you are joining the US military (but you have to be on permanent resident status, or work something else out, which can be possible you being Canadian, maybe I don't know), IDF and the French Foreign Legion. I'm not sure how service in the IDF goes though, you might have to do other things than 100% soldiering. I think you might have to do other kind of service a lot.... I don't know, Israelis can fill in and say how it is, but I believe you are not allowed to go the whole 9 yards.
In FFL you will be signed for 5 years, which is a LONG time if you don't like it, and the pay is not very good considering where you are coming from. If you choose to take this journey, I can give you some links that will help you forward, and there are few forums that ex-legionnaires visit, so you can ask them. I doubt this is what you want though.. but if it's career you want to do, it's good place for you.
And you know.. everyone is scared. Except psychos. You just have to deal with it and learn to perform under it, and you'll be fine.
