Traditional H.S. Diploma Important If You Want To Join The Armed Forces

Some parents and would-be enlistees question a Pentagon policy about high school diplomas. DOD takes only 10 percent of its recruits from among students with non-traditional degrees. That includes online high schools. Critics say DOD is behind the times, and that many online high schools are superior to brick-and-mortar ones. A Pentagon spokesman says, more than 20 years of data show recruits with traditional degrees are more likely to complete their full, three years of service.
