• question about joining the army

I feel like this is the wrong forum for this but I'm sure someone around here has the answer. Little back story. My family is horrible and my life isn't going anywhere. I can't join like this right now (haven't even been to a school ever) I have no friends (apart from a few on the internet.) I wake up every now and then with a massive void inside me and I just can't get out of bed for the life of me. Other days I feel so frustrated I just feel like strangling someone. For the most of my life I've just blocked everything out by playing video games, for the past 3 or so years I've been trying SO hard to just simply find reasons to live. I've tried music, getting fit and other things (these are things I still do, I haven't quit yet.) Even on my happiest of days I can't think of what my future will be. My past is empty and it makes me furious, right now, it's more or less the same and I'm really afraid of my future continuing this way. So I'm looking at my options right now and my only valid one seems like the military. My question is, if I join, can I leave my past behind? I mean, can I tell my family to go fuck themselves and just live on base? will I paid sufficiently and be able to afford my own food and such? like right now the only reason I put up with my family is because they put the food on the table and pay the bills and otherwise I'd be homeless or something else terrible. I need to know if, when, I make the choice to join. Will accommodations be dealt with? or would I have to find my own? will they give me food or will they give me a payment that I can use to buy it? clothes? I'm hoping this can be an end all to my problems and just let me wipe my past clean and then move on, But, these are all hopes and dreams for me. I need someone to tell me reality.

Don't we already have a thread for people who want to ask stuff to Facepunchers who are already in the military?
If we did I've never heard of it

talk to the guys on there lurklet, they're quite chill if you want my opinion though joining the military isn't gonna magically solve all your problems. if you're gonna do it think it through, enlisting is a big decision
