Selective Service

Wait a minute, Why do YOU get federal aid for college?

I didn't get any of that shit, I'm a fucking citizen, I had to join the goddamn military so I could afford to go to college, why the fuck are they giving YOU the money?

Sorry, I don't mean to be so hostile, but I hate the fact that we're willing to doll out benefits to non-citizens and the rest of us get shafted.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Do you mean that you never got notification for a Federal Loan, ever? What sort of college are you shooting for attending? Most in-state ones shouldn't be too extreme on costs...

Yeah, I mean, it's not that much, but considering the job market is SHIT for someone under 25, without a college degree and I also have to support myself while going to school, I can't afford it.

Also, loans and grants are different. They're GIVING you money, they still expect me to pay it back. Besides, why can't YOU go back to a bank in your home country and get a loan, instead of using money out of my pocket (i.e. through taxation).

If you must know, I was planning to transfer to UCSD, before my family said "Who is going to pay for it?" Then I was stuck and had to drop my transfer and join the military. I fucking hate the military. If it weren't for the education benefits after I get out, I wouldn't be here, you can HAVE that shit. I mean, I like the travel and the sea-time, hate the job and the overall attitude of the people.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
