If you end up just doing a GED, the military will probably be a good bet, and almost necessary to start life on the right track. What a GED spells out to most is "probably incompetant, couldnt handle highschool" But, what a military backing spells is "disciplined, mature" So it just may work out for you. But like stated, the Navy may be getting more strict.
What would be very open is the Grunt-work. Army/Marines

Then, college. Get a Degree...in anything. The degree will definately erase your GED from most everyone's eyes.

I dont know how you ended up in the situation(well, I can assume) but it doesn't fucking matter. Mistakes are made, and then they are fixed.
It will not be easy.
