Getting Ahead at Work

Job Description
Service in the United States Marines requires a willingness to fight. Marines are "trained...to overcome any obstacle" and to "engage and...defeat the enemy." Marines are "forward deployed," on the battlefront and respond "aggressively in times of crisis. Education Requirements
The Marine Corps education requirement for enlisted personnel is slightly more relaxed than for the Army, Navy or Air Force, all of which require recruits to have graduated from high school. The Army, Navy or Air Force do not accept a GED (General Education Development) diploma, in lieu of actual graduation. The Marine Corps does accept the GED diploma, but also classifies GED recruits as "Tier 2." Since the Corps accepts a maximum of 10 percent of their recruits in Tier 2, if you have a GED diploma, you may or may not be allowed to enlist.
