A waiver of acceptance for joining the Marines without a GED allows an applicant who does not meet the standard educational requirement to still enlist. This waiver is considered on a case-by-case basis, often depending on factors like the applicant's age, aptitude test scores, and other qualifications. The decision to grant a waiver ultimately rests with the recruiting command, which assesses the individual's potential contribution to the Marine Corps. Applicants should be prepared to demonstrate their commitment and capability to succeed in the military environment despite the lack of a GED.
A GED is acceptable and a waiver of acceptance is rarely granted.

You may join any branch of the military at 17 1/2 with a parent's signature and a highschool diploma/GED.

Upon completion you receive a GED and are then sent to basic training.
The Marine Corps accept the GED as the educational requirement in a maximum of 5% of their enlistments. People with a GED must score a minimum of 50 on the AFQT to be considered.
You don't need to, but it most definitely improves your chances. The military on the whole takes fewer than 2% of its recruits as high school dropouts, and it treats those holding a High School diploma or a GED as essentially equivalent.
