I have a GED and Im ready for the Military – but Im told I need either 15 college credits or do a High School Equivalency (HSE). Which is best?
Try some college, see how it fits. If college and you are ready for each other now than good for you. If you realize that you aren’t ready for higher learning yet than pursue the military. They will recognize and reward you for the college experience. Your reasons for choosing the military are very admirable and you should be commended for your self-awareness. All branches can provide you with the training you desire if you score well enough. You can be certain that they want to put you to good use. Your test scores are a guide to your strengths. Often when we are young what we want to do isn’t necessarily what we might most excel at, get the most satisfaction from or better yet both. The military is an excellent choice in this regard. When I joined the Marine Corps I went in open contract – no guarantees. I had excellent ASVAB scores and was rewarded with great opportunities. I have been out nearly 15 years and I am able to appreciate the lessons I learned every day. I am a better man
