dude your seventeen you can't join the military with a GED so whats that tell you it isn't worth a fuck. If you have a GED you have to have at least 15 credits in a college. Go to your school do the exit option or go back any high school take you back in Florida as long as your under 19. Go back to the places that you put in applications and ask if anyone has had time to look at it, this is a must I won't hire anyone unless they come back and ask . If you really want to be a cop join the military whether its the u.s.c.g marines army navy air force get a honorable discharge then use your veterans benefits to get hired.
