Age. While the overall acceptable age range for enlistment in the Armed Services is between 17 and 35, the USCG further restricts its new accessions to the 17 to 27 age range. In FY 2004, 87 percent of USCG NPS accessions fell in the 18 to 24 age range the same percentage for all DoD accessions. Only 43 percent of the comparable civilian population fell into this age range. Age differences are explained, in part, by different age requirements in each Service. The Army and Navy (accounting for 64 percent of overall DoD NPS accessions) accept 17 to 35 year olds. For detailed age statistics, see Appendix Table E-5 for USCG and Appendix Table B-1 for overall DoD figures.
