Thank you for proving you know next to absolutely nothing about the military. If you don't graduate High School you will not even be looked at. The military targets anyone who finished his/her HS education, and is in good shape

The military has recently lowered their recruitment standards to include lower aptitude standards (hs diploma still required), lower medical standards, persons with minor criminal records, known gang members...
About 17% of the first-time recruits, or about 13,600, were accepted under waivers for various medical, moral or criminal problems, including misdemeanor arrests or drunk driving. That is a slight increase from last year, the Army said.
Of those accepted under waivers, more than half were for "moral" reasons, mostly misdemeanor arrests. Thirty-eight percent were for medical reasons and 7% were drug and alcohol problems, including those who may have failed a drug test or acknowledged they had used drugs.
