It depends on your career aspirations.
For Officers, a minimum 4 year college degree is required. For Enlisted, a minimum High School Diploma or GED is required. However, in the current recruiting climate, they can pick and choose from a large group of candidates, and HSD's are preferred unless the recruit can show good reason for not completing HS by the normal means.
