Rotc Without Citizenship? Greencard Ok?


I am studying engineering at Embry Riddle Daytona, with the intent on becoming an Aviator in the USN. I want to join the ROTC program to give me some exposure to the service whilst I am completing my studies.
I am confused by the citizenship component. I am not applying for an ROTC scholarship, just the training and experience. I have a greencard, my parents are american, I was born and raised in australia. I will be a citizen next year so the scholarships and commision will have to wait.
Exactly how far can I go with ROTC using my GC? I heard of people participating under their student visas also, whats the deal? Surely you must at least have a GC…

    Talk to your NCOs at the Det…….I’m not sure about Navy policy but your NCOs should know. If not, they can find out.

    To receive a commission in the US Military, you MUST be a citizen… you must ALSO be a citizen to enroll in the NROTC program.
    A “green card” does NOT meet the requirements.http://www.navy.com/careers/nrotc/eligib…
    GOOD LUCK THOUGH.

    If you’re parents are Americans, you should not have to have a green card. You are automatically an American Citizen, along with being an Ozzie citizen. My oldest daughter was born in England but is an American with her certificate at the American Embassy in London. Yours is probably at the Embassy in Perth? Anyway, I dont think you need a greencard since your a Yank.
