Can you enlist into the air force at 17?

Answer 1

Yes you can, as long as you are either a High School current Junior (within good standing) looking at the Army Reserves or a current Senior (expecting to Graduate that year) looking at either the Active Duty or Reserves. You will need to have parental consent by all legal guardians.

Answer 2

Nothing. Typically a person who enlists at the age of 17 years old is still attending high school. This allows these individuals the time and opportunity to complete their high school requirements prior to basic training at which time they should be 18 years old. Now there are some additional restrictions for the enlistment process; 1. Both parents (or sole guardian with supporting documents from a court) must sign the parental consent. 2. Certain jobs have age restrictions at the time of completing basic training.

The parental consent form authorizes the applicant to process for enlistment. Recruiters want the parents of all applicants to be a part of the enlistment process regardless of their age (17-26 years old typically). Parents/Guardians are not giving up any parental rights, only approving their minor son or daughter's desire to enlist. The best thing you can do is to discuss all options available, including going together to speak to the recruiters of all military branches of interest

Answer 3

You can, as long as you have parental consent (parents must sign a consent form) and be a High School Senior in good standing or expecting to graduate with your class.

Answer 4

If you have a high school diploma, yes you can. The parent will have to sign papers for emancipation, since you are still a minor.

Answer 5

In the US, no.
