I did, they're waiting for a call back from who is checking in on this with my school.

My recruiter isn't sure if it's good to go but he thinks it might work out.

OK gameboy, the correct response begins with "Roger that Ranger Kilted Heathen," and what the fuck were you thinking? Did you honestly believe that not having a high school diploma wasn't going to be a problem? Put the damn xbox away and start paying attention to detail!!! :evil: :evil:

If you get a GED, you might need to earn a couple of semesters worth of college credits in order to get a waiver.
People without any kind of diploma tend to be quiters and untrainable. You will have to prove otherwise.

Your Recruiter is feeding you a line of bullshit as stated above. The Meps Guidance Counsellors are the ones that get you the job. Your Recruiter can tell you all day long about being a door gunner on the Space Shuttle. With no HS diploma you are going to be hard pressed to get option 40 as long as you pass the rapid vertical gravity test wearing scuba tanks and being shot with frozen paintballs with no air at 35 feet you should be good. Sounds to me like your getting taken for a ride. No way you are getting an option 40 with no HS diploma. You are being set up for failure bud.

Bullshit. There were 53 option 40 slots available nationwide 2 weeks ago. Nothing magic about it. Do yourself a favor and throw your xbox away.
