I know I need my GED/HSD, but is that all? Is it really that simple?

I will now await 15 replies, 12 of which scream "DON'T DO IT" while 2 don't even answer the topic, and 1 which answers the topic but is completely wrong. I love you, Yahoo Answers.
 
The Army is not accepting people with a GED in most areas of the country, however, the Army reserves the right to waive certain disqualifications and allow enlistment if deemed in the best interest of the individual and the service. If you will only need a waiver for the GED, it is highly likely that you will be accepted. Please note that when the Army did accept a GED, they were required to score at least 50 on the ASVAB.

There are some drawbacks to enlisting with a GED, such as not being eligible for bonuses. If you have 15 college credit hours under your belt, you will be eligible for bonuses. Also, upon reaching 30 college semester hours, no waiver is needed for the GED.

Finish School...Talk to a recruiter...
