I have been told that ONE family recently did just that,, and their child did get it... but it seems like it is a problem that is growing and it needs to be fixed accross the board.. It seems as if OUR SYSTEM is turning away some of the best qualified most patriotic recruits this country can produce....
It IS a problem. The universities are very much on board with homeschoolers and are now welcoming them. There is a huge spectrum of homeschoolers, as there is with kids who have attended school. But I personally believe the military will find gem-quality recruits among them, and should work HARD to correct the bureaucratic obstacles which now hinder hs'ers from enlisting.
What did I hear? That they have to enlist as 'dropouts' or something? It might be a problem at the local level, too. Recruiters don't always know what to do? It would probably take a sentence in the Recruiting Code to change it. No need for Federal laws.
