Can I get my permit a few days earlier then my birthday? -New Jersey?

Well on my birthday in July, I'm going to LA/ST (Leadership Academy/Sail Training for the unknowing) for NJROTC on THAT day because that's actually when the program starts (-_-). Is there any way that I could get my Drivers Permit a few days before my actual birthday? I'm going to be 17 on that day, and I already have my "Stub" for passing my drivers ed test. Thanks in advance!
