Possibly.They don't ever really say, but given that he talks about leaving to go join the academy the next summer I always assume he was 17 going on 18.
We, as Americans, fall into that mentality that 17-18 is the age, but in many cultures a military aged male really is 14+, and with him being on a farm, no real schooling, that going to an academy could be earlier age than what we generally consider.
but yall are prolly right.......hes likely around 17-18
