Yup. Been there, done that. When I was a Cav platoon leader in '79 only four people in my platoon had HS diplomas: me, my PSG, a scout squad leader and a tank commander. . . .

MAJ Dale E. Wilson, Ph.D. I had the 'privilege' of serving under two Project 100,000 morons. The first couldn't write a sentence , let alone a fragment of one. The second couldn't send a 9 line medevac without being given 10 lines.

It'll be a good chance for those that don't have a diploma, with the encouragement from the Navy. There were many draftees in the army that were very good solders, without a high school diploma.
My father in 1940 enlisted in the Navy with only a 3 grade education, due to his grandfather took him out of school, to help work on the farm.
Served all threw out WWII, He got his diploma in the 50's, going to night school while in the Navy, and retired as a Chief in 1961.
As a COP in the streets, I've seen, there were many that dropped out of school, for whatever the reason.
And, most were good young men, that didn't have the chance to finish schooling.
Some grew up and learned a trade, and supported their family, and children, and giving his children the advice to finish their schooling.
With a good chance, there are those, that'll make it in life.

Much more so in the pre-'70s days. Today, most HS diplomas aren't worth the paper they're printed on . . .

MAJ Dale E. Wilson, Ph.D. - You're correct on that, here, the high school grads can't pass the college entrance test, can't read, and can't do math.
