Question
If I told the National Guard I had my GED but I lost it in a move, and I cant remember the location of the school, what would they do, if anything at all? I really want to serve I just cant seem to find it. Would they just take me on my word?
Probably not. They will want some proof that you actually have the GED. If that's the honest truth, and you're not trying to evade the question, you can still talk to them and see what it would take to get you in. Each state varies slightly, so talk to a recruiter in the state you want to join in.

Expertise
I am currently an active duty Army Captain in the Military Police Field. I have been enlisted (Military Intelligence) and attended The United States Military Academy at West Point. I can answer questions related to the Army, posting, jobs, lifestyle, workings... pretty much anything you can throw at me with the exception of very specific recruting or medical questions. I have no expertise in what it takes to get in the military other than the fact that I, myself, joined at one point in time.
Experience
I have experience in both deployed and garrision environments as a Military Police Officer.

Bachelor of Science in Arabic and French from United States Military Academy at West Point.
