I am a Canadian citizen with diabetes, but who achieves very high marks in school. I wish to join the American military. Is there any way I can attend a military academy, hopefully studying military history or strategy? I have wanted to join the military for years, but my lack of American citizenship seems to be a problem. Any advice?

You can enlist. As far as an Academy you have to be a citizen. Other than that you'll probably have a problem enlisting with diabetes.

You also have to be a legal resident to enlist.

The diabetes is a definite no-go.

You can always look towards the civilian sector for civil service careers, however.

why not join military in your own country!

Ya there nothing wrong with the Canadian military. Im in the army reserves and it is a great part time job. If you go to the Royal Military Collage in Kingston Ontario you could apply to be a military exchange student. I have heared of ppl doing that. And I hate to be the one to tell you this but I dont thing you could get into any military with diabetes, but i could be wrong. The best thing for you to do is talk to your local recruiter, or you can either call or e-mail an american recruiter.

I wish you Good Luck with finding the right job!

Does the Canadian armed forces allow people to enlist with diabetes?

I think one would be hard pressed to find a service that does. Its unfortunate but a reality I am afraid.
