Enlisted in the U.S. Army at age 17 1/2.....served from early July 1967 to late June 1970 and was honorably discharged as a Sgt. E-5 when I returned from Vietnam.

My granddaughter enlisted in Jan. and is now stationed at Ft. Campbell, Kentucky which is where I went through basic training back in 1967.

My husband. Veteran of Canadian Army, served in Korea during war. Snuck into enlistment at 15 years old. Was pissed as soon as he arrived Ceasefire declared. What did he know, he was only 15. I have his medals, he earned two. I have pictures also, of him in uniform. Over 6 feet tall, no way did he look 15. He said he was 19. He thought if he said he was 18 they would think he might be lying about his age so he upped it by one year. My husband. Honest Bandit.

Nobody checked Identification from a birth certificate or do they turn a blind eye to such things? My husband enlisted at 17.
