    International volunteer status

    There is no such thing as "international volunteer status". You are a mercenary.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_Mercenary_Convention

    Mercenaries are illegal under the laws of war. You are not entitled to the protections afforded to regular soldiers. You cannot be a lawful combatant or a prisoner of war.

    Technically a way to clear your student debt

    The servicer will discharge your loan, or a Parent PLUS loan taken in your name, once they are provided with documentation of the death.

    Why do that when you can just join the American military and sit at a desk for four years

    Monthly Payments

    From their website:

    You get the standard pay of a Ukrainian soldier and it varies depending on the conditions of the service. Your payment will be in UAH currency to a local bank account. The approximate amount in USD is the following: $600 per/month behind the frontline, $1200 per/month for service in a dangerous zone, and $3300 per/month for combat deployment. Please note, that those numbers are just an approximation since exchange rates can change and also some roles and units receive additional bonuses.

    Some candidates are fresh from the military and can be deployed after a week or two of getting to know the command structure, the comms, etc. Others need more extensive training that can take up to 6 weeks.

    3300/mo to be cannon fodder with 6 weeks of training, good gods

      you could flee the us and never pay your loans or you could join a us service branch and get a GI bill and get skills and a career or you could do both by joining the reddit brigades and make the federal minimum wage in a currency which will collapse at any minute until you're sent to the front and turned into a human minesweeper

    Lose both of your legs in a war that has nothing to do with you to have a chance at paying a debt that shouldn't exist in the first place!
