The minimum age to join all branches of the military and the National Gendarmerie of the High Tatras is 18 and the maximum age for enlistment is 40. All citizens who meet minimum physical and pyschological requirements and are between the ages of 20 and 35 are subject to the draft. You must have at least a high school diploma to enlist, but there are no educational requirements for the draft.

16 is the age where one is considered an adult. One may join the military at this time.

15 is the minimum for volunteer service but at age 18 every citizen has mandatory military service that lasts 3 years. The maximum age is 30 unless the soldier is proven to be physically equipped to keep serving.

Minors 16 & 17 can take on non-combat, minor duties for the military, once they are 18 they are eligible for boot camp and may then enter combat. At the age of 35 they are required to retire from combat and may then take on minor duties for the military.

People may join upon reaching the age of majority, which is 18 normally but as early as 15 if they finish secondary school that early.

However, generally people smart enough to finish school early are too smart for the military, at least as enlisted soldiers.

You can be any age to join the Tuumuuan Military, there have been soldiers as young as 7 years old. About 20% of the military is made up of child soliders (15 and under).

Volunteer age is 16, provided parental consent. Required age to join the National Reserves is 18 if not joining a post-secondary education facility or after graduation from such a facility. All males and females are required at least a year of active service and ten years in the reserves with regular training.

Officers are required to have post-secondary education to be recruited, thus most are 22 or older.

Special Forces do not accepted anyone under 20. Air Force prefers older recruits and will defer those under 18.

Joining the CSA is mandatory at the age of 16 for all fit and able males, and national service continues up until 24, at which point people may voluntarily stay on.

Children 14 and older spend summer vacation in a military training facility, this ends when the citizen turns 18. On the 18th birthday, the citizen serves in the military for two years. After those two years are up, the citizen is free to either re-up or retire to a civilian life.

The minimum age is 18. However, there's a "don't ask, don't tell" for as young as 15.

The minimum age is 16. However, there's a "don't ask, don't tell" for homosexuals or bisexuals.
