Hey guys. I'm wondering what the minimum age is for WWII re-enacting. I'd really like to try it sometime, but I'm only 14. Thanks for looking!

Im 15, i am a war reporter for my 1st-SS reenactment unit. Usually if we are a few men down, they will throw me into action with a rifle. Also, I get to command, deploy, and carry an MG-42. As fun as that sounds, youd rather not cuz its so heavy. If you have anymore questions, PM me and ill help you out. Also, you realise how much it costs to get into somthing like this right?

I think its great for kids to get into the hobby.I have noticed that the ones that get into reenacting tend to do better in school,are more responsible,and dont get into trouble.
I have seen some very young kids come out to public displays and encampments.So you see you can get into the hobby at any age,but you may not get to go to "war" right away.
