It does take some getting used to having an 11-year-old Special Forces Weapon Specialist who weighs 100+ kilograms. It's extremely unlikely, but just barely possible to have EDU 1 and high enough other stats to get an extremely low MEB. With a MEB of 12 or less (again, lower is better), it's possible to get less than 1 year in combat. Per the age section, that means age is 1 (MEB) + 1 (EDU) + 8 + 1d6. Roll a 1, and the character's 11 years old. Since none of the service branches require EDU, they could roll Special Forces or Ranger, though they can't be anything higher than a Spec 4.
Edit: Being fair, though, 2.2 has its own problems. IIRC, elephants are as common as sniper rifles for Warsaw Pact characters, which suggests a rather bizarre alternate universe with a secret Siberian elephant-breeding program to...uh...have heavy draft animals in case of a nuclear war?
