aparently not.. I have been told that the recruiters are not allowing homeschooled kids to take the ASVAB.. and without an ASVAB score you can't even go to the MEPS..

I don't believe thats true. When I joined the military I took the ASVAB at MEPS. The problem must be that the home-schooled prospective recruits do not have the documentation (proof of HS diploma or home school equivalent) to even start at MEPS. They could take the GED, but I hear that many of services are trying to reduce the number of GED recruits accepted. As far as I'm concerned, if a prospective recruit has a GED and a decent ASVAB score and they have the confidence of the recruiter to start an enlistment process, there is no reason a service should reject them (unless they don't have a job for them).

Every homeschooler I know has a running CUM file and transcripts for their students..especially high school students. They also produce diplomas.
