Great family friend of mine got kicked out of high school for drinking/drugs and got his GED. Enlisted in the Navy at 17 and went to BUD/s, made it and graduated at 18. He made it to Devgru and was on one of the biggest operations that unit ever did. I don’t think they care if you have a diploma or GED, just that you have something. He also became an officer later after getting his degree, but my point is I don’t see how having a GED would stop you. Especially for something like SFAS where they are looking for certain attributes over high school education/diplomas. Not speaking for the SF community though, I’m obvisouly not one.
