paper signing.... At what age does it stop that they can join
without your consent?
In all cases except for the Navy Reserve, the minimum age permitted is 17 with parental consent in writing.
Those 18 and older are permitted to join the military without parental consent. The Navy Reserve minimum
age is 18. Federal law says no military branch can enlist someone over the age of 42; however each service
may set their own policy below that age limit.
