For those of you who don't already know, I'm going through a pretty big rough patch in my life.

I've been kicked out (Violently. It's a long story, but my father became physical, there was a fight, and the cops were called.) recently for reasons that are far beyond ridiculous. For the past two months or so, I've been living with friends kind enough to help me through this situation.

Problem is, the situation's not improving. I lost my job because it shut down soon after I was kicked out. Since then I've had no money for gas to apply to other places, and have no money for food. My friends are kind enough to lend me food off their meal plans for college, but I can't and won't live off that for much longer.

I've been sending applications out like mad since this happened, but so far every place I call back is either not hiring, or not returning my calls. At this point I don't really know what to do.

Except one thing. Something I've vowed my entire life never to do. Something I've made the claim several times never to do..

But once you don't have a place to live, or you don't know when you're next meal is.. the military looks more and more tempting.
