Until dec.1942 they allowed voluntary enlistments in the army ,after only draftees between 18-38.The navy and marine corp allowed continued voluntary enlistment at the age of 17 with parental consent.These rules where not strictly adhered to,the army had cases of underage boys claiming to be of draft age,some aged less than 15.The navy and marine corp had a large number of underage volunteers the youngest known being a 12 year old seaman.Based on existing data one in 300 Americans killed in WWII was aged 17 or less at the time of death.
