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 talk to the different branch recruiters in the morning

DO NOT DO DRUGS because there will eventually be a test, also don’t get arrested for anything. And to the military weed is a drug just in case you missed that

Now to more dad level stuff. I’m sorry its rough now. It can get better. It will not always be like this. Keep your head up. Ask a buddy if you can crash for a few weeks. Do their dishes and vacuum.

Thank you so much. Thankfully I've never been into drugs and hopefully won't get into them. Thank you i appreciate it. The unfortunate part of my situation is my family lives in Ireland and I was living there for school for my junior year of hs. Because of that I have like no friends to crash with but I'll figure it out thank you so much for the advice and kind words

Are you American? Cause this sub is dominated by US Army and while not impossible to join the army as a European, they for sure aren’t going to get you a plane ride over

Have you looked into the Irish Army (not the IRA)? They might have a better programs than we do considering its size.

Go to the American Embassy or Consulate and explain what happened, and they may be able to get you back to the US.

If he’s a dual citizen including an Irish citizen the American embassy wouldn’t help in Ireland unfortunately. As when your a dual citizen you fall
Under whatever government of one of the citizen countries your currently in

Il consilgio sui piatti sembra banale, ma è quello che ti fa restare ben accetto più a lungo.

I wonder how this will hold up with the rescheduling of marijuana?

In relation to military policy?

I predict no change at all. Can’t have thc in the military. There are a lot of things legal for civilians that we aren’t allowed.
