I'm told that probably due to the economy, the armed forces are seeing a big rise in numbers of potential recruits and they want to see diplomas rather than GEDs. I know several kids who went to boot camps last year who intended to enlist when they were of age but they had gotten GEDS.
One boot camp instructor told me that they may now focus on the kids getting diplomas through the credit recovery program that UGAalum94 spoke of above rather than getting GEDs.
