Well, you cannot enlist until you are 18, or 17 with parental consent. However, there are many youth organisations that are military in structure and will help prepare you for a military career. Check and see if your school has a JROTC program, you could also look into CAP and Young Marines.

Many of our younger posters here are members of these groups and I am sure they will be along shortly to answer any questions you have about their respective groups.

CAP (Civil Air Patrol) right here. I'll answer what I can.

you wont be ahead of the game if you go to USAF drill and join the USMC, every branch has a different way of drilling and calling the drill movements. but i guess it will help you w/ rythm
