Bradley (Chelsea) Manning had a top secret clearance at age 21. Too young.
I had one at 18. But when I started in 1987, faggotry was a disqualifier for service, let alone clearances.

There are many military “jobs” that require a top secret clearance. I had one at 18 when I went through cryptologic maintenance technician training. Just about everybody in my class was under 21.You would lose a lot of people with an age requirement for a clearance.
