A friend of mine missed graduation by half a credit. He has a 3.0 gpa and 25 out of the 24 needed credits. All other requirements are met, besides a half credit of math. Is there any way he can enlist in any service, active duty and reserve included?

The school district I am employed under has a system in which kids can finish (make up lost credit) using a computer program. Once that requirement is met then their diploma is signed as if they would have received it on normal terms.
With that said, working on a computer program can be tougher for kids because it is self-paced (often times more work) with no one chasing them down reminding them of assignments. Since I am sure your buddy has had a teacher/administrator reminding him of the much needed credit for graduation over an extended period of time....I hope he buckles down and becomes a productive member of whatever career path he decides to enter.

He can still enlist. It is a easy make up for that part. He can still join. It's not like he is a year behind. Once completed, he can ship off.

Can he not take a summer school math course and make it up? Then graduate?

I would think so, a high school diploma is a high school diploma! And honestly I would think that with troop numbers being cut the Armed Forces can afford to be a bit more selective and I don't think a GED would cut it. Itd be better to part with some free time during the summer and get that half credit and get the diploma.
