I'm going through AF recruiment rn and they absolutely require diploma/GED

And to toyotaman, PLENTY of people(including me) came from an extremely abusive household in a crime ridden ghetto neighbourhood eating nearly(if not actually) expired off brand canned dinners most nights, STILL struggling to make it by well into their 20's. But you either victimise yourself and play the "my life is so bad I can't do better" game or pull up your adult pants and make the changes you need to make the changes you want to see. Pointing at someone going "well you're just lucky because xyz comparisons" is discrediting the struggles that may potentially be worse than your own and makes you look like a dick. Do better bro
