Under INA Section 328, persons who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces (including active duty, reserves, or national guard), can file for Naturalization based on their current or prior U.S. military service.

The requirements for eligibility are that the applicant must have served honorably or have separated from the service under honorable conditions, have completed one year or more of military service, and be a legal permanent resident at the time of his or her examination by USCIS on the Form N-400, Application for Naturalization.

Can you Join Turkish Army when you are not Turkish you are from Pakistan?

You can not join Turkish Army if you are not a citizen of Republic of Turkey. If you are a male Turkish citizen, you are subject to draft, regardless of your ethnic origins. So you will join the armed forces, anyway. Things get a little complicated if you want to be an officer in Turkish armed forces, but you are not an ethnic Turk. The armed forced intelligence does a extensive background check to allow you in. I have not heard a single case like that. However Pakistani nationals are trained Turkish armed forces academies, if they are sent there by Pakistani armed forces.

No. A non-citizen cannot become a commissioned officer or even a non-com in the U.S. armed forces. That said, they are free to enlist (although non-citizens must complete the normal immigration process first) and those that do can so can sometimes become citizens more quickly.
