Green Card holders divorce

Facts:
1) My friend is a Green Card holder (through marriage) for less then one year and is in the process of getting divorced.
2) He just joined the US Armed Forces and will departure from Florida to an US Military Base in Georgia in May.

Questions:
1) Can he apply for naturalization right the way because he joined the army?
2) If he has to wait, how can he renew his Green card if he is getting divorced?
3) After the divorce, how long he has to wait until he can get married again?
4) Can he sponsor a non resident through marriage as just a green card holder?

If hes deployed into active duty, hed be eligible immediately. Otherwise he must complete a year of service.

How long ago did he get married?

He can get married again as soon he wants after the divorce, but sponsoring another spouse in the near future will be problematic.

Really odd questions for someone with a legitimate marriage (not for a GC) to be interested in. Are you the girlfriend?

The military takes a poor view of adultery. Until the divorce is final, he is still married.

A divorce so soon after getting a GC is certainly suspicious especially if he did the filing.
