I wonder how many service members are discharged before turning 21
anyway, but I understand your point. Military service matures most.

Anyone who signs up at 18 for a 2 year hitch (and 4 inactive). You get
your DD214 after the 2 years. I got mine after a year (+5 active
reserve) and I was only 19.
