Hey guys, have some questions about enlisting:

I'm a DoD Civilian on Atsugi, JP for the CDC, currently 23 years old, but I want to go back to college - however I can't afford it and my credit is awful (I'm also currently being sued), and FAFSA would basically make it so I could only take a class or two per semester. I really want to teach English, and am considering some kind of career in the military in linguistics, so I could attend college and get some kind of practical field experience. I was thinking of going Navy, since they have more of a presence here in Japan, where I eventually want to end up staying for the rest of my life anyway. Last time I took the ASVAB I got a 97, and I don't have any firm medical issues that would require a waiver or anything, and I haven't done-diddly any droogs in at least a year. I just drink (a lot). Have been considering military for a very long time, plus I went to military school anyway to get my GED, and my father was enlisted Navy for 6 years and an officer for 10, so I'm super not-worried about transitioning into da martial lifestyle. But anyway I guess my three questions are: Which branch of service would be best for linguistics/foreign relations/translator? and How do I even go about enlisting while living in a foreign country? and also Should I even enlist with my poor credit? Or just try super hard to fix that garbage and get student loans? Any help would be appreciated.
