A:
Joining the military while on a J-1 student exchange visa is not possible. The J-1 visa is intended for educational and cultural exchange purposes and does not permit military service.
Upon your return to your country on September 5th, you may explore military opportunities in your home country. Each nation has its own requirements and processes for joining the military, so you will need to research and meet those specific criteria.
If you're still interested in joining the U.S. military, you may consider other visa options or pathways in the future. Keep in mind that this process can be complex and will require meeting certain residency and legal standards.
