Military service doesn't begin that young for most people in my world. I volunteered for it.

The majority of people start serving when they're in their teens. But it depends on whether or not the country is at war. Sometimes, it depends on how well that war is going.

Is that the case where you're from? Or do armies only take people who are older?
