In the Star Army of Yamatai, some of our soldiers are clones that join just after birth. After a year of training, they are deployed around the time they become 1 year old.
The Star Army is the military arm of the Yamatai Star Empire (FT, RP).

In Makaar, the minimum age to join any of the armed forces is 18, except the Royal Guard which takes only those over the age of 21 (though Army transferees with a strong record may be accepted at 19 years and 6 months provided they have served 18 months in the Army).

You can join from 19 years. You can only be sent into battle once you reach 20.

3 years old.
The Yezdrig, clones who make up the majority of our organic soldiers, finish training at that age.
There is no retirement age for Yezdrig. They will only retire once all their blood has left their body.

14 to enter Army Cadets, Sea Cadets or Air Cadets. They're sort of reserve, only called in if absolutely necessary. They also have four years compulsory service in the military, versus the normal two years.

18 to join the actual armed forces.

You are conscripted at birth. Your blood is already owned by the millitary, because your parents and their parents had their gene therapy, their AI symbiote, their physiopharmacutical, mechanical, nanotechnological, and surgical augumentations. And it's been carried over. Every generation, improved, modified. Oh, sure, you don't enter service until 18, but you'll be training your whole life.

If you belong to a Noble family that's heritage is with the Army, you are born into it and are trained and taught how to fight and kill until the age of 21, where you "graduate" and begin service.

For commoners, they can sign up at 16 with the written consent of their parents or join at the age of 21. If war is going on, the monarchy has the right to conscript the eldest son or daughter of any house that are 21 or older granted that family has at least one other offspring or the person being conscripted is married and has a child.

In the Federation of the Whaltrean District, you must be male, and it's 13. If you're female, it's 16. Those that are homeless are immediately drafted into the military.
Although, actual conscription starts once you reach the age of 18, and you have to serve 4 years of compulsory service. Whether it be in the military, or in self-defence training.

The minimum age is 20. However, there's a "don't ask, don't tell" for homosexuals or bisexuals.

I am a staunch supporter of Austrian Theory economics as defined by Ludwig von Mises, and I consider myself to be a libertarian and I support the Libertarian Party. Basically, I am a capitalist revolutionary.
