There is nothing you can do until you are of the legal age limit to join. Are you in the US. If so the legal age is 17 with parental consent.
There are things you can do to prepare you for the military. If your school has an ROTC program then you should make every effort to participate as that will earn you an accelerated promotion when you do join. There are other organizations that will help you prepare for the military such as the Boy Scouts and Naval Sea Cadets.
An even better idea is to excel why your are in high school and apply for one of the many military academies after high school, like West Point, Air Force Academy, and the Naval Academy.
Good luck and stay motivated if this is truly your goal.

you have to wait 3 more years at least. 17 and a junior in high school you only eligable for reserves, 17+ and a senior your eligible for RA or AR.
and what is CCF?

You need to be at least 17 with parental consent to join any branch of the military in the US. While you're waiting, concentrate on your studies and try to keep at least a B average and don't get yourself in any legal troubles. Good luck to you!

you could join an acadmy or cadet corp where they exist.. or why not join scouts, path finders etc.. at the least if you are looking for a future carear in the military these things likely will not be detrimental.
There are branches of mililitary schools that you can go into ..
here is a list of military highschools.. depending on where you are you options may differ

with your parent's permission you can enlist at 17 as long as you have graduated High School. otherwise.. you are waiting until you are 18. and you will change your mind no less than a dozen times between now and then.

Sorry thats way too young even with permission. The Worlds militaries are very strict about not having "Child Soliders."
Just wait, your time will come soon trooper.
