Like others have said, finish high school first. Being a Marine isn't just about being stupid. You will have to pass the ASVAB before they will take you.
While you do, you can see if there is a Young Marines Unit anywhere near you or a JROTC group. You can find out about other things by talking to your local recruiter. You can also read about the Corps in things like Leatherneck and the Marine Corps Times. Again, see the local recruiter.
The earliest you can enlist is when you are 17, but you will have to have your parents' permission.
Semper Fi and hand in there. You will be old enough before you know it!

Some high schools have JROTC programs. Not only will this give you a taste of the military, but it will also actually put you a step ahead if you join the military after high school.

wait for a world war draft kid. don't worry until then. marines, army, navy, anyother branches of the military don't accept you unless you have an education and you are 18+. just wait for a World War draft. you'll get in at 16 for sure

Then think of approximately shifting in including your bf. You dont intend to screw up and pass in too early and bust up what you have, only dont take the possibility, you are able to continually do it later. I moved in with my bf once I became sixteen, we were collectively for over a year, and interior 6 months, i moved out. I enjoyed him plenty, besides the undeniable fact that it only wasnt to be, i replaced into too youthful. only be careful, it wont give way in case you wait and take it slowly, will it.

Are you really sure you want it? Go to You Tube and do a search 'firefight in iraq' or something similar to get a look at the other side of the 'weekend warrior' spin, wich sounds like its calculated to suck you in. YOU - YES YOU - could die.

Closest you can get is JROTC if your school has it. you can not join the military unless you are18 or 17 with parents permission.
