Recruits could enter Star Fleet at the age of 18 (or age 17 if their first assignment was to a colony world or other non-ship posting).

They would then receive six months of specialized training appropriate to each individual's potential and cultural background. In the early 2300s, the insignia for a Recruit was a plain, one-piece white uniform design with no decoration except for a standard communicator.[2]
