the navy has waivers for 17 year olds to get in if they have parental consent

The navy also lets people without GEDs in.

I got to shake hands with George Bush aboard cvn 72 when he flew aboard our aircraft carrier in 2003.

for you I would recommend the seaman apprentice niche to join in. It gives you an opportunity to see first hand where you wanna go

you could join then later try out for the s.e.a.l.s or the s.w.i.c.k. boat crew with 7.62mm gatling guns,

heck go for air crew in a helicopter with .50 caliber machine guns if you want, but call a recruiter and find out what qualifications you need before you join to get that job

the air force requires a high school diploma
