How would you guys express this in a CV?
I'm not sure, you cannot do that in the US.

The US military requires a HS diploma.

If you are over about age 19 you cannot go back to regular HS, you have to take what is called General Education Development (GED) tests. There are no classes required, but it would be hard to pass without significant study.

This results in a GED diploma, which is often considered inferior to a regular HS diploma at least in the US. Hopefully Europe is different, and you have a regular diploma.

If you have a college degree, no one will care about HS.
