I was told by a recruiter a few months ago that we would have to show the recruiters our HS records and curriculum to ensure they met the state requirements. In TX the requirements are simply Reading/writing, math, English and good citizenship. Luckily for us, we are members of a co-op that will provide a diploma.
Another option is to have them take a placement exam from a credentialed source, such as Texas Tech ISD (yes, Texas Tech University has an ISD).

Based on their background it would appear they need some kind of accelerated 'Adult Learning Model' classes to get them prepared for a HS equivalency.
I know for HS kids (we homeschool our 5 kids, 7th grade/13 y/o and down) that they must complete some form of HS equivalence in order to enlist in the military, or to go to college. We are planning to make sure our have that in a timely manner, but that doesn't help you now.
I recommend going online to goarmy.com and finding a local recruiter who can help you with the details. You could also use RallyPoint's unit locator to find a recruiter to connect with that could help.
Good luck and thanks for telling the Army Story!
