i came in the corps when i was 17. it wasn't bad because i had no other life experiences so it was a good learning experience. fuck joining as an enlisted if you're above 24. at 21 i made sergeant and got the fuck out. i can only imagine how shit life is when you're a boot and you're only a few years shy of the fucking company commander.
enlisted at 17 yrs and 6 months old
I enlisted two weeks after I turned 17 and went to basic like 9 months later. I'd say 17-20 is the right age to join. Once you're older and know what it's like to be an adult, it's a bit rough to start being treated like a child again.
17. I wasnt really sure what was going on, and i still don't.
