Can Failing to List a College Get you Disqualified from the Military?

Quite stressed out here... So, I've been thinking about joining the military after high school, but what if I don't list a college while applying? Anyone with any insights on whether that could get me disqualified from the military?

Each branch of the military has its own eligibility requirements, but generally, not having a college degree won't disqualify you from enlisting in the military. The basic educational requirement for most military enlistment is a high school diploma or a GED. In fact, many individuals join the military straight out of high school.

If your goal is to become an officer, however, that typically requires a 4-year bachelor's degree. Each branch has its own Officer Candidate School (OCS) or Officer Training School (OTS) for those who have their bachelor's degree and wish to become an officer.

It's important to speak with a recruiter for the specific branch you are interested in to get detailed and accurate information about eligibility requirements. They can provide you with information about the application process, necessary prerequisites, and opportunities for advancement in the military.

But, to answer your question, not listing a college on your application won't disqualify you from the military.
