Moving from the UK to the US..HELP PLEASE 10 pts!?

Question

Hi everyone your help will be so amazing! i really appreciate it!

well im an american citizen living in the uk because of my dads job. in england you graduate high school at 16 because we start earlier, and we receive GCSE's [same as a high school diploma] & we have coursework as well as exam results. so i plan on joining the US army at 17, but when i get out and they pay for my education how do i get into a university based on my gcse's? that is pretty much my question. ie. will i have to take tests to get in, is it definately possible to get in? will putting i have 5+ years experience with the military help?

THANKYOU!

Your GCSEs are just proof that you graduated high-school, no more and no less. If you wish to attend university in the U.K. once you have served your time in the army then you would need A-levels to be considered for admission. If you want to study back in the U.S. then you would take the SAT or ACT like everyone else.
