Question about joining

[Barlow11]

Hey, i'm 17 years old. I want to join the army. for most likely infantry i am wondering is it smart to join that early at age 17? has anyone else?
I already have all the requirements, I was thinking of finishing my grade 12 doing "Correspondence" which is basically school at home. would this be possible while i'm there?

Stay in school. The recruiters will tell you the same thing.

Sucks when they sound like your folks, don't it?

I say stay in school also. With regard to how long the process is to get in you would be better off staying in school instead of doing it by correspondence, besides if you were lucky enough to get in right away you will be extremely busy on crse and may not have the time or desire to do your school work . And like Scott said the recruiters will probably tell you to come in after your done, they told me the same thing many seasons ago

What everyone else here said - stay in school.
