Good luck joining the Navy with a G.E.D, they are downsizing and I'm almost positive you wouldn't be able to get in with just a G.E.D. My recommendation - go to Open Campus High School off of Witchduck Rd. ( Can't remember how to spell it ) and VA Beach Boulevard. They run a program for people who are behind and / or have dropped out. I went there after I dropped out senior year and came out with a H.S. diploma.

It's an accelerated program, so if you don't have the desire to get your life back on track don't bother. Here was my daily schedule while I attended:

Work: 6am-12:30pm
School: 1:30pm-9:30pm

Every weekday, but it was worth every minute of it.

Jesus Tapdancing Christ, give the kid a god damned break.
He fucked up, and now hes doing his time. At least hes got a fucking plan, which i way more than I had when I was 15.

If you end up just doing a GED, the military will probably be a good bet, and almost necessary to start life on the right track. What a GED spells out to most is "probably incompetant, couldnt handle highschool" But, what a military backing spells is "disciplined, mature" So it just may work out for you. But like stated, the Navy may be getting more strict.
What would be very open is the Grunt-work. Army/Marines

Then, college. Get a Degree...in anything. The degree will definately erase your GED from most everyone's eyes.

I dont know how you ended up in the situation(well, I can assume) but it doesn't fucking matter. Mistakes are made, and then they are fixed.
It will not be easy.

To possibly join the navy he will have to score 85 or better on his asvab. And they only let 5 percent of their new recruits have GED's. And its a huge waiver too. (I have a GED)

Hi, this is VAdriven, did you forget where you were?

anyways yah - join the military after you get your G.E.D. Take the ASVAB and do well (since you have school smarts) and they'll call you 24/7 like they did everyone i know.

eh, don't think that is the case with everyone bro. i dropped out of high school to get my GED, i wasnt in legal trouble though. I am about to graduate with a 3.3 in criminal justice this spring, im not a rocket scientist, but i did ok.

New horizons down the street from TNCC they have GED programs for Minors, you have to go through a 7 week program if your under 17 i believe, also the court ordered it and offered no insight on where to get it? kind of a shitty deal if you ask me.

high school diploma means shit also, the only way to do ANYTHING in life is through college, 2 year degree's are the new HS diploma. As soon as i get mine this year im Xfering to a 4 year program. Just so everyone knows i do believe one of the previous surgeon generals had a GED

pasty

I'm in college for Engineering. Still though, a G.E.D. is worth less than a highschool diploma.

i would like to congradulate you on being a dick head and completely retarded. My balls dropped when i was about 12 which really has nothing to do with me getting my g.e.d. My grandpa dropped out and got his g.e.d , he worked for the city for 25 years making 6 digits and now hes retired getting a 2200$ paycheck for the rest of his life. My father dropped out got his g.e.d and is making 65k a year as a chief in the navy. I know plenty of people who have gone to community college with a g.e.d and its not like i have a choice now in case you couldnt read i have a COURT ORDER to get my g.e.d and a job. Thank you to all the people who actually helped me find a place to get my g.e.d and thank you to the people who got these dickheads off my nuts.


Thank you for the help , no they didnt my attorney couldnt even tell me where to go to get it
