By federal law (10 U.S.C.. 505), the minimum age for enlistment in the United States Military is 17 (with parental consent) and 18 (without parental consent). No parent can take their 17 year old child to the recruiters office and sign them into military service unless the 17 year old child willfully desires to join the military,because The US Military is a 100% volunteer service..
Many parents threaten to take their teens to the military thinking it will strike fear into the teen,but all the parents end up doing is looking like fools making threats that they can in no way enforce,because 95% of the teens already know that military service is volunteer and cant be forced on them by parents.The worst that such parents could do military wise is enroll their child into military school if the child has sufficiant grades to gain acceptance and the parents have the sufficiant funds to pay for it..
So if you are the son just tell your parents to read up on the Federal law,if you are the parent then stop looking foolish by making empty threats that you cant enforce and find some other form of discipline to use..
