Yes, you can get into the Marines with just a G.E.D. However, you DO still have to pass the ASVAB test they administer to you at the recruiting station. You also will have to pass an extensive physical exam, as well as a urine test before being shipped off to boot camp. They will also make you take an oath before being shipped out as well. I think the physical exam is the thing that keeps MOST people out. They are VERY picky and will disqualify people for a lot of things. A friend of mine who was only 4'9" had to get a height waiver to get in, because she was too short. Another friend was denied entry because he had a calcium deposit in his shoulder. Weird stuff I know, but that's how they are. They will also weigh you, so don't go over your max weight limit either.

"The Marine Corps limits GED enlistments to no more than five percent per year. Those with a GED must score a minimum of 50 on the AFQT to even be considered."

Donald Rumsfed, Secetary of Defense proclaimed, "If you can fire a rifle, anyone can be a Marine." This ain't like the old days when we had standards. Now, we need to fill slumping recruiting quotas." Join today!

No diploma required. You just need the minimum passing score on the ASVAB. Good luck!

Your G.E.D. will do just fine. They be happy to take you. Remember, boot camp is really tough, and you might get sent to Iraq.
