I believe several nations have similar to Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps (JROTC) like the USA has, which can start at middle school or around 4th 5th grade or 12 to 13 years olds.

Yeah we even have military schools that start at kindergarten too, but JROTC and military schools aren't really actually being in the military by a large margin and have no type of commitment. The overwhelming majority of kids involved in those programs don't join the military.
