So they’re old enough to decide to join the military but not old enough to handle receiving an unsolicited message on social media?

Recruiters start working you long before you're old enough to join.

I guess they probably do now because like 90% of high school grads have or did something that makes them ineligible to join and if they want more recruits they need to get students to not do things that make them ineligible and that might mean reaching out more than six months before they’re old enough to join.
