Answers:
If you aren't a high school graduate, you will need to obtain a GED.
You must be at least 17 years of age (with parental consent) to enlist under the Delayed Entry Program.
You must pass the ASVAB, and the higher your score, the better opportunities exist.
You must pass a medical exam, which will include a psychological exam, and with the schizophrenia, it is unlikely that you will be medically qualified to enlist.
The minimum enlistment period is eight years, of which three or four are generally active duty, and the remainder will be in the Individual Ready reserve, which is a standby unit where you can be recalled to active duty, should the need arise.Health Question & Answer

Former U.S. Army RecuiterHealth Question & Answer
You need to be a physically fit, healthy person. You have to be at lest 18 to join without parental consent but can join as early as 16 if your parents agree (pretty rare even if you're parents support it, I've only met one person in the Army under 18). The term of enlistment varies depending on the job you choose and which component (Active, national guard, or reserves). All initial enlistments are for 8 years though (the amount of time you're agreeing to serve plus the balance of 8 years in the individual ready reserve, you can act like a civilian in the IRR but the Army can call you back to active duty if an emergency is declared).
You have to have a GED or high school diploma to join the military.
Most psychological problems can preclude you from enlisting, and schizophrenia is a major one. Certain details may help you, like when you were diagnosed and how severe it is. It might be a show-stopper, but ask a recruiter.
The best person to talk to about enlisting is a recruiter, but if you don't want to enlist today DON'T. Any job that is there today will probably be there tomorrow. The Army is a huge organization, all of the military occupational specialties have lots of positions. Take some time to think about it and talk to friends and family before you decide.
also, don't stick to just Army, if you want to try military service at least talk to the other recruiters. It can't hurt and it can always help.Health Question & Answer

You need to be 18 to join. But I don't think they will let you in with the Schizophrenia. My friend tried to join the army, and they denied him because he had a green ring around his neck from a fake gold necklace. (he eventually committed suicide, if they let him in the army he would still be alive)...anyways, You will have to find out about the Schizo.Health Question & Answer
I think the best thing for you is to talk with a recruiter 1st then talk with some older man who served in the army
