I went to a recruiter about 3monthes ago. He told me I needed to sign up for 15 credits, but he also told me that the millitary wouldn't count some of the school credits.
What is the difference.

I live in a small town. I have no recruters.
If I call they will bug me to sign up NOW and then they would have to wait for me to finish school.

any 100 level or higher classes will count.
anything that starts with a zero will not( usually classes like "Study habits" or "Orientation for new students")

Whiich counts, GED or College? Both count, but what does the recruiter tell you? Most likely he told you to get15 credits to make you go away. If you need college credits, the GED will only count to get you into college cources, but will not add anything to your ability to get into the military. Consider this is like playing cards. High school is like playing with only numbered cards, college is like face cards and pretty hard to beat with only numbered cards. The higher the college degree, the higher face cards. 15 college credits are easy to obtain. It will take some effort and a few months to accomplish. If you had to resort to the GED, perhaps your high school record has too low grades to enter college courses. Go to the nearest community college and sign up for classes that are transferable to any 4 year college. Generably speaking those would be Math, Science, and English composition. The electives may transfer, but do not count on it. Any credits that will transfer are most likely the credits the military wants to see. 15 credits all at once would be difficult if you have never been to college or taken advanced courses. You may need to take the courses 6 or 9 hours per semester, maybe even less depending on your ability. Just signing up for courses will not get you anywhere. Surely, you must have to complete most, if not all of the courses with decent grades to be considered.

Talk to the counselor. Many colleges have remedial level classes that are basically what you should have learned in high school. The military will be looking for classes that will transfer to a higher-level university.

you may choose to touch a recruiter and the college you elect to circulate to. you will likely could desire to take a placement attempt to verify the place you're at academically after which you would be able to circulate from there. while you're no longer unavoidably as much as par, meaning you could no longer get into a hundred point instructions, then you definately will could desire to take prereqs. yet talk over with a recruiter first and notice in case you qualify.

Your best bet is to take the basics: English, Math, Science, etc. We're talking about 5 classes, or 1 semester as a 'full-time' student.
Good luck to you!

Of course talk to the recruiter, but I am fairly sure you will need to get all your zero level courses taken care of. Such as:
Beginning and Intermediate Algebra.
A zero level English course that I totally can't think of the name of.
American History pre or post 1865.
In other words, classes that bring you to high school graduate level courses, or level zero courses.
I did have a friend who got in the Army with a GED, but his other test scores were high. They did hassle him for a while saying "the Army only has so many slots for GED, ya better get in while you can fit in." His Mother was terminally ill, so he wanted to be with her as long as possible, but they kept making him think he would miss his chance (knowing his situation)! My advice to him was: "If they will let you in on a GED today, they will let you in on one tomorrow, don't sweat it."
He made a piss-poor soldier, but they let him in. Keep in mind I am talking about the Army, not the Air Force, but you would think they would have pots and toilets to scrub like anyone else.

Talk to the school councilor and the Vet - rep at the school most of them function for both Vets and active duty reps. If they can not answer your questions talk to the recruiter.

I got hosed bad by this once.
Sign up for solid classes and then fax it to the recruiter and check for sure.
Usually, "Studios" and "Labs" don't count.
