To join the Army here in Blighty, the minimum age is 15 and three quarters.
But yes, I agree it is too young. It should be upped to something like 18, as I dont think the body is able to cope with the stresses of Army training at such a young age; you're still growing after all - mentally and physically.
But tbh, the British Army is soft these days on recruits; when I joined we were beasted shitless....
