You can enlist in the services at 17 with parental release. This is typically coupled with a delayed entry program designed to complete your initial entry training on or around your 18th birthday. Of course, during all of this training, which can take over a year, you are non-deployable. For the Army, basic training is roughly 9 weeks, followed by a job school. Job schools vary in length from a few weeks to over a year. Before setting foot on a battle field, the army will send you to a three month pre-deployment training. In conclusion, though you can enlist at 17, you wouldn't be in theatre until you were at least 18.
