I'm calling you out on this one, Will.
When I went into active duty 25 years ago, they accepted dropouts,
with the understanding that they would be required (ie forced) to receive their GED within a year. While I was active duty, the Air Force did away with that program. They would only accept you if you already had your diploma, or your GED. Then...they went on to make it so that you had to have a high school diploma. GEDs were no longer acceptable.
But...that was a long time ago.
So...I actually
did call up an Air Force recruiter...not 5 minutes ago. I was informed by one SSgt. Annebock that one does indeed now have to have either a high school diploma
or equivalent (read GED) to enlist in the United States Air Force.
Now...I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt here. I'm going to assume that, instead of outright lying, you were confussed by something with that whole "Community College" bit. (SSgt Annebock informed me that no community college credit is required to enlist) Could it be that in order to enroll in community college, one has to have a GED?
I find your condescention...most disturbing.
