Enlisting in the navy-Homeschooled?

Postby fyfe » Mon Jul 30, 2012 2:31 am

I've talked to a few local recruiters and they don't seem to know anything about it. I didn't do an online course or a program so I have no accreditation. (What I did do was still in compliance with state law and I am considered a homeschool graduate)
I spoke to a Navy recruiter via email and he sent me this:
" military recruiters must accept a home school diploma or transcript regardless of the teachers’ relationship to the student. Furthermore, a transcript or diploma prepared by the parent, as well as a high school diploma or transcript issued by a non-accredited home school correspondence course satisfies the law’s intent. No additional educational documentation is required."
I called the same recruiter I mentioned before telling me this and he said he still had no clue. Although he said he was going to do research on it....but, whatever.

I'm trying to find out in the information fast. I recently began registering for college. I have all the paper work filled out except for the student loan form. So I'd really like to know what my options are before I pull out a 3,000 dollar loan, ya know?

How can he say he has no clue when he emailed you the policy that states that you can enlist?

^ I agree.
If your question is IF you can enlist in the navy, he gave you the answer.

"Military recruiters must accept a home school diploma or transcript regardless of the teachers’ relationship to the student. Furthermore, a transcript or diploma prepared by the parent, as well as a high school diploma or transcript issued by a non-accredited home school correspondence course satisfies the law’s intent. No additional educational documentation is required."

It says that all you have to submit is a diploma (made by your parents) or a transcript (made by your parents).
