Next year i will be in US as a student from february to november , can i still enlist myself in that time because when this time is over i'm not gonna have a green card anymore.
What i really wanna know is, joining the usmc can i still be legaly in the US?

And other question: people can still join if they have tattoos?
I have one in my shoulder that doesn't appears in a normal shirt.

You will need to talk to a recruiter when you are here. They will have to look at and probably measure your tattoo. There is always a small chance the tattoo policy may change in some way between now and then.

They will also know the enlistment procedures for non-immigrants and non-citizens. There was a prince from Sierra Leone in my boot camp company and I met an Australian with 2/7 while I was in Okinawa, so anything is possible, you'll just have to talk to the local US embassy/consulate or recruiter's office when you get a chance.
