I am having issues with getting enlisted into the army. I have a G.E.D and they are telling me (recruiter) that I cannot enlist with a G.E.D. Is there any way around this?
All advice/ideas are appreciated.

Service is a privilege, not a right. You need to make yourself competitive to stay in, or get back in these days.
