No, you cannot join the Marine Corps without a high school diploma or equivalent. A General Educational Development (GED) credential is considered equivalent to a high school diploma, so it would meet the requirements for enlistment. However, without a GED or high school diploma, you would not be eligible to join.

Marine corps recruiter said that need 15 credit from college to join marine corps is right?
You need to specify a couple things. I.e., enlisted or officer and what military occupational specialty you're going for. Requirements will fluctuate to meet the Marine Corps' manpower demands, but generally a high school degree or GED/equivalent is required to enlist. In some circumstances this may be waivered. I'm guessing by the way you have crafted this question that you have not completed either High School or your GED. 15 Credits would serve as a suitable substitute for either of these things.
