I turned 18 in basic training. You can ship to basic while you're 17. And then go to a unit. You are not deployable to a contingency zone (the widest definition of "place you could be injured by enemy fire") until you're 18.

Later on we got a private who actually made it all the way to the unit and had to wait until his 18th birthday to join us on deployment.
