If you enter the military with parental consent at age 17 are you allowed to train with small arms and the bigger stuff or do have to wait around picking your nose until you are 18?

From personal experience, you can have all this fun at 17. It doesn't become as much fun when you realize machine guns are heavier than they look on teevee. It becomes even less fun because though you happily received your driver's license the year prior, you get to walk long differences while carrying those heavy things.
