Can you Join the Marine Corps With a GED diploma?

Answer 1

Check with your local Marine Corps recruiter. According to their web site, they will accept a GED. Make sure it is from an accredited institutiion

If you have a GED with no college credits you will not be able to join because you would be considered a tier II and there are plenty of tier I recruits, so getting accepted is highly unlikely. You will need 15 college credits to be considered a tier I, and then depending on your asvab score you should have no problem.

Answer 2

Yes, but it is rare for that waiver to be granted. A GED backed up by a dozen or more college credits even from a community college might be accepted if they were all solid academic subjects accompanied by outstanding grades. What the Corps doesn't want is a quitter. They want people that have the right stuff to become a Marine and become good citizens. They acknowledge that a very small percentage will fail in recruit training. Most of those will be because of an undiscovered health condition. They want people with a positive attitude, leadership potential and the ability to go for broke. If you don't want it bad enough, you will surely fail. The faint of heart have no place among this brotherhood.

Answer 3

You should direct this question to your local Marine Corps recruiter; I'm not 100% certain what you mean, but if you're asking if they can help you locate a GED program so that you can join the Marines (the US Armed Forces generally do not accept anyone without a high school diploma or GED), then they should at least be able to give you a referral to a program that they consider acceptable.

Answer 4

you need a high school diploma
