I am in the US Navy without a diploma. Have been for 7 years. Some people just like telling people "no", but you definitely can. The militar allows recruiting of 2% of its servicemembers without a High School Diploma. I think the program is called HP2.

∙ 15y agoIn today's Navy a high school diploma is considered a minimum qualification. Some waivers are granted for GED's but this is few and far between and your choice of rates (naval training) will be limited.

∙ 11y agoEither a diploma or GED is required; however, in the current recruiting climate, you really need a diploma, unless you've got a GED and score so high on the ASVAB that they can't ignore you. Either way it's no commitment to take the test, and you'll find out if they're interested or not.
The Navy recognizes that those who earn a GED aren't always just dropouts or kids who got tired of school. Some couldn't graduate for family concerns or other reasons. Having said that, the reason they prefer a diploma over a GED (unofficially of course) is that a diploma shows a basic level of commitment, and the military is a commitment itself. The other reason is that the military, and in particular the Navy, has become an extremely technical place, and most training courses are typical of college level courses. In fact, many of my old Navy courses over the years gave me quite a few transferable college credits.
The Navy expends a lot of money in training of its sailors, and they have to be reasonably confident when recruiting that the recruit can handle the training. Of course, in the end, it entirely depends on your ASVAB score - score high enough and they won't care one way or another. I wasn't that great in HS, but I scored really high and had my pick of career choices. Turns out HS just wasn't challenging enough - the Navy changed that for me, and everything since.
