If you are going to a community college then know that you need at least 12 semester hours of college under your belt before the National Guard will view you as a college student and no longer a GED Holder. That's only 4 passed classes at the standard full time rate!

If you are going the technical college route and the school operates on the quarter system then you must achieve at least 22 quarter hours. Once you have completed your 22nd quarter hour at the tech school you can now re-apply for enlistment into the National Guard. Good Luck!
