Well if you get your parents signature and agree to lewt you go you can. Im in JROTC in high school and one of my classmates is leaving for basic this summer so when he comes back to school he will be in the Army. <-- Well thats what he says. I think you can go to basic when your 17 with parents permission and then go back finish school and then go on your way in the military. If this is true then I know what I'm doing next summer
