MEPS and your recruiter cannot get HS records. You were a minor dumb-ass. You have to voluntarily get and give them. YOU ARE THE ONE WHO WANTS TO JOIN. Why should they do the work? Based on this simple post, military life may not be for you.

I quit high school basically in the 10th grade. I used to forge my mom's signature on the reason I was not at school. I was constantly in the VP office. My gt was 111. My foreign aptitude score was 25. Do not worry about it. They call me Mr. GED.

MEPS is not the approval authority for waivers. You probably got yourself disqualified or "open" on the physical exam under PSYCH for telling the doc you were a problem child in school. So, the doc needs to see if you have a history that would require a psych consultation and waiver by the service branch's approval authority. You are the applicant, so it is on you to provide the requested documentation in order to be medically qualified. Talk to your recruiter.
