It says in the article that recruits must have legal status in the US to join armed forces.
People who overstayed on their status aren't eligible for legalization for 10 years. So yes, he was legal and have maintained his legal status. I know 2 Puerto Ricans who joined military to become US citizens, although they didn't have to in order to live in the US.
