Can i enlist in the green berets at 17?

Question

i know they are accepting civilians right now so i want to know can i enlist at 17 go through all the basic training and then do green beret training after that or whatever?

Answer 1

....after a successful Ranger school...get you some of that!

...you might get SOF, but 'the Green Beret' is not easily earned, earnestly

Answer 2

17 with parental consent

18+ without parental consent

You would be enlisting into the Army Infantry... Not the Green Berets. If you do good enough in basic training then you can attempt to try out for special forces.

Answer 3

The fastest way to get there is go thru basic training then try and become a Army Ranger.  Which isnt easy by any means.   The classes are very large and few get thru.  It is very tough so u better be ready.  Second im pretty sure you cant enlist to become a green beret.  They ask you to try out, you dont ask them.  

Just never give up.  They will try to get you to give up the whole time.  It is mentally challenging as much as it is physical.

Answer 4

u need to become a regular soldier before u enlist in the special forces and assuming that graduate highschool, with parental permission u can join at 17

Answer 5

Yes you can join the Army with an 18X contract that's SF recruit you will go to 11B OSUT (One Station Unit Training) and then further training, although if you fail any training at any point between basic and going to a group you will be sent to a regular unit with your default MOS of 11B, here check out this link:
