17, the army can help you get your GED if you don't have it already, but you do at least need a GED or equivalent.

18

Answer 3

To get into the Army you have to be 18 years of age. You also have to have a High School Diploma or a GED.

Answer 4

17 if both of your parents sign off on the form to allow you to enlist. 18 if they won't. Depending on the service and what their needs are you may or may not need to get your GED first. You can talk to a recruiter and ask them what the service you are interested in is requiring. Sometimes they don't take people in until the get their GED at other times they will help you get it once you finish boot camp and before you move to your first command. It all depends.

Answer 5

You have to be 17, with parental consent.

You will also need either a GED, High School diploma, or 15 semester hours of college.

Answer 6

You can't join any of the armed forces without at least a GED. Marines (so I hear) won't take you without a HS diploma. You can be 17, with parental permission, or 18, without.

Answer 7

In the US 17 with Parental Consent, BUT I highly recommend going back into school and get your diploma for a variety of reasons;

You will eventually need it for a civilian career

You will need it for Promotion Consideration on the Military, you'll never make Sergeant without it.

You need to show that you can finish what you start, quitting shows lack of committment.

GED is the Minimum for enlistment
