Yup. I graduated high school at 17 and they were after me those last two years, at least. I was told I could have any job I wanted in the Navy due to my test scores. It was flattering and tempting.
Comment on Schools in America apparently have their own army recruiter

Why didn’t you pick like Fleet Admiral and then decommissioned all the ships before promptly quitting?

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.

We usually call that grooming.
Recruits groom children to kill.
