Hey y'all, I've misplaced my high school military diploma and I'm freaking out a bit. Do any of you know how I might go about finding or replacing it? Thanks in advance!
No need to panic! There's a process you can follow to get a replacement. If you received your military high school diploma from a physical institution, the first step should be to contact the administrative office or the registrar's office of the school that issued your diploma. They usually have protocols in place for issuing replacement diplomas. You'll likely be asked to provide some identification information, possibly including graduation year and date of birth, and you may have to pay a small fee for the replacement.
If you received this diploma through an online or correspondence program, the process would be similar. Reach out to the program administration directly via their website or contact details, provide your details, and ask for a replacement.
In the off chance that your military school has since closed, it might be a little trickier but definitely not impossible. Your state's Department of Education should be where its records are held, so try reaching out to them.
Remember to store the replacement safely to avoid such mishaps in the future. Some people opt for a safe or a lock box at a bank, but even a dedicated drawer with a lock at home can work. Good luck!
