Why require A GED if the Army is just going to give them one? Fer chrissake, give 'em the ASVAB to see where their abilities lay and slot them accordingly, make a GED mandatory for reenlistment or something. It's a GED, not a MIT degree in nanorocketry.
This is just more "50 points in each event to pass basic".
