The requirements for each branch of the military are somewhat different. In general, you should know the following:
- Acceptance into the military is based heavily on the score the student makes on the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB).
- The military requires a high school diploma for admission. A standard diploma is preferred, but a diploma earned by passing the GED tests may be accepted. However, a student with a GED diploma may be required to meet additional requirements.
- Special diplomas may or may not be accepted by military recruiters.
When considering the military, always check your local recruiters for the most up-to-date information. Admission standards may change depending on how great the need is for recruits. In addition, individual capabilities of the applicant may be taken into account.
