Hi,
I've already read the sticky on "Ged/diploma/college Credit Question...start Here". I have 15 college credits and spoke with a recruiter about joining. He said I need a GED and 15 college credits to be considered a tier 1 candidate.
I went back to college to take another class thinking I would have no problems joining. According to that sticky I should of been fine.
"DIRECT FROM A RECRUITER WHO POSTED THIS ON SITE FEB OF 10.
"An individual with 15 college credits, earned towards a degree, is considered a Tier I regardless of high school/grammar school education completed.. No GED required..""
"Per SSgt A, currently (21 June '11) on Recruiting duty, regarding 15 credits:
"Tier I applicants do not need an education waiver. After 15 college credits, you become tier I. If an applicant who is already a tier I (regular high school graduate or higher) has 15 or more college credits with a GPA of 2.2 or higher, then that applicant will rate a promotion.
It doesn't matter if you never went to school a day in your life prior to college. Once you get 15 credits, you are golden."
My concern is the latest information is from 21 June '11. I know the Military is currently cutting back and they're probably making policy's stricter to get the best candidates.
Talk is cheap, I want to earn the title. I'll get a GED if I have to; I just want to be sure it's required. Is the current policy GED required, along with 15 college credits true?
Thank you
