Hey everyone, looking for guidance.
I’m a green card holder from Nigeria working in cybersecurity on the civilian side and trying to join the Air Force Reserve. Long term, I want to move into cyber after getting citizenship.
I verified my ASVAB and got a 54 AFQT.
The recruiter near Chicago told me I can’t currently enlist because Nigeria is on some restricted list for green card holders. But recruiters from other regions told me different things, so now I’m confused.
I understand I can’t get clearance/cyber jobs right now because I’m not a citizen yet, and that’s okay. I mainly just want to get in first and retrain later after citizenship.
If anyone recently enlisted as a green card holder or knows a helpful Air Force Reserve recruiter (remote or near Chicago suburbs), I’d appreciate the help.

Hey everyone, looking for some honest advice from people already in the Army Reserve.
I’m currently working in cyber/IT on the civilian side with a long-term goal of getting deeper into Azure/cloud security. Since I’m a green card holder right now, I know a lot of cyber/intel jobs in the military are limited because of clearance requirements.
My recruiter showed me a few Reserve jobs available around me, mainly:
88M (Truck Driver) $30k bonus, $350 kicker, and up to $50k student loan repayment
12N (Horizontal Construction Engineer) same incentives
Now he just texted me saying a 12M Firefighter position opened up about 2 hours away from me. From what I understand, firefighter slots are pretty rare, so now I’m wondering if this is something I should seriously consider.
My long-term plan is to eventually reclass into an IT/cyber MOS once I get citizenship, ideally 17C or 25B.
I mainly want to know which MOS would be the most useful or smartest choice before eventually reclassing into IT/cyber later on.
