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. 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 Army - 42
Army Reserves - 42
Active Air Force - 27
Air Force Reserve - 34
Active Navy - 34
Naval Reserves - 39
Active Marines - 28
Marine Corps Reserve - 29
Active and Reserve Coast Guard - 27
However, prior service enlistees can receive an "age waiver." In most cases, the amount of age that can be waived depends upon the amount of time the individual previously spent in the military. For example, let's say that an individual has four years of credible military service in the Marine Corps and wants to join the Air Force. The Air Force could waive the individual's maximum enlistment age to age 31 (Maximum age of 27 for the Air Force, plus four years credible service in the Marines). For the Marine Corps, the maximum age of enlistment for prior service is 32, after computing the prior-service age adjustment.

17 with parent permissoin is the earliest. All others, 18.
Army raised it to just under 42.
The Air Force's and Marines' limits are 27, and the Navy's is 35.

Ask your local recruiter. The lower age limit is 17 (with written permission from your parent). The upper age limit depends on your job skills (higher limit for medical doctors).

Well in the US you need to be at least 18 years of age. Although I do know some guys who took ROTC courses in high school and had appointments with recruiters prior to turning 18.
