Military programs for teenagers?

I am 14 and looking for military programs. I found Sea Cadets, but that is for the navy. Does anyone know of any army programs? Thanks.Military programs for teenagers?
WestPoint sent you an excellent link.That looks excellent!





There is an organization called the young Marines. But that is a more year round local thing. It does not mean that when signing up later you can't just sign up for the Army.





Look into if your school sytem offers JROTC, It could either be Army or Airforce. But again you are free to join whatever when the time comes. If you stick with it you might even get a college scholarship out of it.... or entrance into one of the academies.





A lot of the military schools offer a military summer camp during the summer. I have a friend who had a kid who was 14 and a total miscreant. And he got him into this two month summer program at a school and he took to it like a duck in water. He returned after and walked and talked like a man. That was a while ago but now he is in the Army Special Forces.





Call an Army base near you and ask for the ';public affairs'; guy. He will know what is available to you. The MPs usually have some youth program available.





Another option is to contact whatever veterans organization is near you. They would be more than happy to find out what is available for someone your age who expresses interest like you.





Last but not least if none of this works check with the police. Sure it is not Army but is a start.





Good for you for thinking about this now.... I was a militray kid and knew that I wanted the military life. Keep your nose clean, keep the grades up to a reasonable level. Believe it or not but knowing history and cultures will bea big asset later. And don't get involved with the school kid crap. Those people will be long gone and forgotten the day you first put on your uniform.Military programs for teenagers?
