By federal law (10 U.S.C., 510), the minimum age for enlistment in the United States Military is 17 (with parental consent) and the maximum age is 42. This is to ensure than anyone who enlists on active duty can be eligible for retirement (20 years of service) at the mandatory age of 55 (60 in some cases). However, DOD policy allows the individual services to specify the maximum age of enlistment based upon their own unique requirements. The individual services have set the following maximum ages for non-prior service enlistment:
Active Navy - 34
Naval Reserves - 39

You can be drafted at 42 years of age. As for volunteer service, I'm not sure. I think it was 38.

Depends. If you never had any basic training I think it is 18. If you rejoin...any age if they want your expertise.

Don't go into the armed services until bush is out of office.
