As long as you live outside of the US, you're out of luck. You'll have to move back to the States and have a US address and phone number.

Ok, I understand that I have to move to the US, thats not a big deal. However, I end up reading the instructions for applying and saw that I need the high school diploma.
This diploma needs to be a US diploma? If it is, there's any way to make another's country diploma valid?
Thanks for the help so far,
William.

Would be nice to have a recruiter in the forums .
Until now, I had visit a few marine websites and them always require US adress, wich I dont have.
Tomorrow Im gonna call the embassy here in Brazil, just to know if they have any information about this.
Thanks again,
William.

There are academic organizations which specialize in evaluating foreign diplomas and degrees and giving them American equivalence. They charge fees, of course, which would be your responsibility.
I would imagine with the Marine Corps having accepted other recruits from foreign countries (after they got their green card or citizenship), there has to be a mechanism in which their academic credentials can be validated.
And you're right, it would be nice to have a recruiter aboard. Whenever we do they don't last long.

You can still join once you move back to the United States. We have ways of validating that you graduated high school. I personally have never put anyone in from another country but one of the Marines who works in the RSS with me put in a guy from Russia who was here on a green card.
