Im 17 MOS 38B Civil Affairs (Airborne), Im an incoming Junior a sophomore in high school Last year, my suggestion for you, Call you local recruiter when your 17 join the Army Reserve in High School (Dont worry you cant get deployed till you graduate) you go to basic Training your Junior Summer and AIT senior summer, you train once a month in High School and you rank up your years while your in high school which will help you after AIT because it will be easier to apply for Sniper school and Ranger School since you already have two years of service while very one else graduating AIT (Infantry School) only have a couple months, Being a Ranger takes alot of Work and Dont even think about going to sniper school if youve never fired a gun before or if your shot isnt 100% all the time, but practice!!

Yeah...you sound about right for joining up. So long as your fitness and overall health is fine then go for it. I had a friend who was a sniper in the British Army and he loved every minute of it...well apart from the obvious times lol.

Good Luck

You will be much better off talking to an Army recruiter or going to military.com than following any advice you get on this site. Most people on here know less about todays army than you do.

Ok I can help you get there, please email me, by do way you need to be 17 with parents consent, anyway, if you need a help I will help you a lot, I'm not a recruiter and I live in MA, so unless you live here, would be hard to see you, just email. You seem very fit, maybe will need some fisical, but I do not know yet. Keep doing what you are doing, get your diploma and GED, and some friends to refer so i can help you much more. Please email me.
