Joining the military at 17?

I was wondering how many people have joined at 17 or know of someone who joined at 17?

Any interesting stories?

I joined the Army Reserves when I turned 17 then went active duty when I graduated.

Kiddie cruise is what it use to be called enlist at 17 and be out before your 21st birthday. My brother did just that after boot camp his remaining time was on the carrier Kearsarge and seen many places----Hong Kong, Manila, Tokyo, Seoul, Taipei, Hawaii, down under and more. Talk of a girl in every port that was him but that was the early sixty and this is now.

At 17 you can join with parental consent but you must have a highschool diploma. Otherwise you can join the DEP program your senior year and after you graduate you ship off to bootcamp.
