I am fixing to enlist in the military. I am still 17 and my mom has agreed to sign what's needed in order to enlist. My question to you is, am I legally emancipated in the state of Texas and/or Georgia? If so, will I be able to sign contracts and get my license without having prior drivers ed?
Thank You

yes, once you sign on the dotted line you belong to the U.S..

You'll still have to wait until you are 18 unless you have an order signed by a judge, I would think. I'm not sure how the law works in Georgia, but in Texas you still have to wait until the day before your 18th birthday to get a driver's license without the benefit of driver's education. The military is a good experience for most young people, despite the danger of our current wars. I applaud your courage and wish you luck.

Yes and No. Being that a contract enlistment, depending on which branch, is at least 2 years. by then you will be 19 and legally emancipated from your parents. However in being emancipated while you're IN service? Yes, from your parents, but no in that the military officially owns you for the remainder of the contract. As long as they have your signature they can send you wherever they want or tell you to do whatever they want.

You will not only be able to sign your first legal contract when you enlist but will receive the most fantastic education of your life. So take the head-phones off of your ears and open your mind and listen to everything that they will teach you in your forthcoming adventure.
Congratsulations and Good Luck

once you have completed basic training, yes. As for the DL issue.. that will depend on the states laws whether or not you need Driver's Ed prior to getting a permit/License.

Just remember, she still has yet to actually sign the papers though.
