I was always told that if you put your mind to something you can do it. But is it feasable to think that someone that barely graduated high school could get a PharmD?. I'm really smart and i know if i apply myself i probably could do it. But i didn't really give math or chemistry the time of day in HS, so i think this might hurt me short term. But that aside my plans are to join the Navy as a Pharm Tech and get my 2 yrs of pre-reqs in my 4 years of enlistment. Use my G.I. Bill for Pharm school and live happily ever after. Should i give it a shot? I really hate my job now. and being 20, i could defiently make this worth my while.

A lot of SDN posters didn't exactly set the world of high school academia ablaze. Don't worry about it.

Do you really want to join the Navy? I mean, really, if they took away the G.I. bill tomorrow, would you still want to enlist?
If you're only doing it for the tuition money you'll get from the G.I. bill, keep in mind that the current limit on this benefit is $36000. By the time you're entering pharmacy school in four to five years, this *might* pay for your first year's tuition, fees, & living expenses at an in-state school. With that in mind, will it still be "worth it" for you to spend four years of your life -- indeed, to risk your life -- in the Navy?
You may have other reasons for wanting to enlist. Just be realistic about what the G.I. Bill nets you. $36000 sounds like a lot of money, and some money is better than no money at all, but it really won't cover much of your educational expenses.
