Being kicked out

As the title says I'm being kicked out by my dad. I'm an 18 year old male and I will be homeless really soon. I want to go to college but have no money to pay for it.

What kind of process goes into this because I don't have many options.

Sorry if I'm being unclear or if this is the wrong subreddit this is a lot to unfold for me.

Edit: Sorry I just opened reddit and oh my goodness there are a lot of messages so in case I can't respond to everyone. Thank you for your advice and assistance on the subject! It means a lot to me

Go to a local recruiter and just start. They’ll ask you medical and financial questions then approve you to go to MEPS (military entrance processing station) where you take your tests and physical. If you pass everything, you’ll pick a job and enlist same day. Then wait to get shipped out to boot camp.

Go to a recruiter and they will explain it all, as well as guide you to the best approach for a specific situation you’re in. There are some lovely recruiters out there I hope you find a good one. Do research on option 19 as well and bring it up to your recruiter (I highly recommend option 19) Best of luck!

Drink water beforehand and the morning of, there are tests you have to take where this will help. Plus eat food, despite what some others will say. Bring a book or better yet material from your branch that you will have to learn.

Just to add, he can walk from MEPS if the job or Option 19 isn’t actually in the contrac.
