what is the age limit to join the military?

Answer 1

Okay some people are right and some people are wrong. There is an age limit for enlisting in the military and some of the age limits are different for different branches:

http://usmilitary.about.com/od/joiningthemilitary/a/enlstandards.htm
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

You can join at the age of 17 with parent permission or just wait until you are 18 and do it on your own.

Hope this helps.

Take care and good luck

17 with parental consent, or 18 otherwise. You have to be no older that 40 or 45 when you enlist.

Answer 9

There isn't one. You just have to either graduate from high school or obtain your GED. A friend of mine joined when he was 16. He had just graduated. His parents had to do a bunch of paperwork though!
