Any way to get a waiver so i dont need 15 college credits to join the marines?

im totally in the dark about the requirements and rules and all that so this might be a stupid question but never the less id like to know, maybe if like i bring in some Friends to sign up for the marines my recruiter will consider signing me up without my college credits? going to college for me is going to be a real PAIN in the rear im really poor and its hard to get back and forth to school so im just looking to see if there's any other options out there, thanks for your time and answers!

I am guessing if they are telling you to get 15 college credits you either have a GED or no degree at all. Unfortunately for you the services don't leave that up to the recruiters. The only service you can join right now without a high school diploma or higher is the Army. And that is getting more and more limited. The Army does have a program called APS for those without a GED. You are sent to Fort Jackson to go to a GED course then take your GED and then continue on to Basic and your job training. However, the limitations on this category are pretty heavy. You cannot need any kind of moral waiver meaning nothing more than one misdemeanor. Also you have to score a minimum of a 50 on your Asvab. Right now it is still open but if you wait much longer it will be closed out and you will be left on the outside looking in like so many others. I suggest you find an Army recruiter and ask them about the program.. or go back to school somehow so you can someday qualify for the marines. Good luck to you which ever route you take.

hell the best thing to do would be to get in and then worry about college you will have free time after you get to your duty stations, although it probably will take longer than 4 years to achieve your bachelors degree you will still be able to become an officer it is definitely do able good question
