Do you need a GED or High school diploma to join the U.S Marines?

Basic education required to enter the US military is a high school degree or a GED with 15 college credits.

The last I heard the Marine Corps was not accepting GED's. Diplomas only. Regardless he will need at LEAST a GED to join any branch. It has been that way for well over a decade.

if he has a GED he ALSO needs 15 100 level college credits.

that, or a HSD. no exceptions.

Diploma, i don't think they are doing waivers for GEDs

make a 5 year plan start with the GED pick a trade and get into a community college and get it done.

Yes that is true... He needs to get his ged.

As a corpsmen (medic) you would be in the army because of the fact the Marines have not got medics... yet you would be assigned to a Marine Unit With a reoccuring harm the army or Marine Corps does not be the alternative for you, b/c you would be waiting months on end to have the means to end faculties in case you permit out one qualification from harm. It takes months to reassign you, or they could Discharge you... it particularly is announcing in case you even make it by using boot camp and MEPS with out having DQ'd. in case you at the instant are not particular the Marine Corps is your first selection, it is not for you. USMC is meant for the thoroughly committed people who've the identify as a Marine as their precedence, not advantages. From each little thing you're announcing, and making an allowance for jointly with your harm, i could say the Air stress could be super for you... little actual call for, medic means, and probable the extra perfect advantages in the long-term in case you be sure on being an engineer. my $.02 sturdy success

No he NEEDS to get his High School Diploma...
