In Florida there is no age limitation in either direction:
Art X of the Florida Constitution
Section 2. Militia.-
(a) The militia shall be composed of all ablebodied (sic)
inhabitants of the state who are or have declared their intention to
become citizens of the United States; and no person because of
religious creed or opinion shall be exempted from military duty except
upon conditions provided by law.
We must be a more progressive state than Virginia.
