Can I join The Marines With A GED?
In this episode, we discuss how the US Marine Corps accepts applicants with a GED but with stricter requirements than high school graduates. GED holders face greater competition and are subject to a quota system. Scoring high on the ASVAB is crucial for GED holders to improve their chances of enlistment.
Marine Corps recruits are categorized into three tiers: 1st (high school grads), 2nd (GED holders), and 3rd (no diploma or GED).
Furthermore, the US Marine Corps allows no more than five percent of all recruits to be enlisted without a high school degree. GED holders require a minimum ASVAB score of 50, higher than the requirement for high school graduates.
So, while a GED is accepted, it's considered less desirable than a high school diploma, and consulting with a recruiter is strongly recommended to understand all requirements and options.
