Yes, enlistment in the military results in "automatic" emancipation. Please keep in mind that this does not supercede some other laws such as the legal age to buy alcohol.

If you are 17.5 years old when you enlist with parental permission, you are in a sense emancipated. Once you complete basic training, you are a soldier, for all intents and purposes (at least while on post) an adult. However, it is important to recognize that when you complete Basic and AIT, you will by then be 18 years old anyway.
