    To be accepted as a student at the US Military Academy at West Point one must be a US citizen and receive a nomination, usually from a member of the US Congress (House or Senate).  The link below leads to the admissions FAQ at West Point.  You may qualify if a naturalized citizen, or born on a US facility overseas, or naturalized since born overseas with one or both parents US citizens.  There are, on the other hand, a number of excellent military academies besides West Point, such as Virginia Military Institute, in the US.  And there are, of course, military academies in Europe, the best of which is Sandhurst in the UK.
