with a GED you will need a 50 on the ASVAB and I would imagine just as the Navy they have a book that you study prior to bootcamp that has all the rules, General orders of Sentry and much more its like a 40 page packet really. After you do that your recruiter will test you and make you enter with an E3 before boot. Master Chief then strips you of that in boot and if your good you get it back. College credits of 15 credits only allows you really to enter with a 30 on the asvab and GED.
Thats the way I remember it atleast. I am sure much hasnt changed. You said something about infantry so I am guessing Army. You will get grunt because this is what the need right now. You need 90 credits to qualify for OTS which doesnt mean your automatically a butterbar. Their physical is intense and mental bending. And second I have heard that no one listens to the butterbar because he has no experience.
Hope this helps.
Oh and what poster Janus said about picking the military for the GI bill is correct. If you dont do it for the right reasons and dont do it for the job you want, you will have one hell of a bad ride. Do it for your reasons but make sure to get the MOS that makes you happy. Imagine working at at job "civilian" that you dont like but you can call out and quit if you wish. Well in the Army or any branch you must show up and call outs are a right up that takes pay. OH and you cant quit.

What should i do? open up a TESC credit bank and bank all the credits in there? is this a legitimate way of enlisting with over 50 college credits? i want to go in as a E-3.
will it work?
