kasserole0

i just turned 19 a week ago, my parents told me i have till the 1st of January to move. i get paid 7.50 an hour, i cant support myself on that. im currently looking for a job. i cant afford anyplace to live so im planning on moving to a trailer and getting food stamps will i can support myself. but i have no clue where to go to look for a trailer or how to apply for foodstamps.

im freaking out righ now because my parents gave me a deadline and they are serious about it. i dont have ANY money saved up, i had about a thousand saved up last month but ALL of that went to buying my car. so now i have money again. and im freaking out because i know i cant support myself but my parents will not let me stay no matter what.

im not worried about furniture or anything like that. i just really need to know where to get foodstamps/wic and a trailer in the Virginia Beach area.
thank you so much. any information will be greatly appreciated

Answer
If you want to rent a place by yourself, you'd need to come up with first month's rent, last month's rent, and possibly security deposit. Since you don't have any of that, and you also don't have a decent job, what I'd strongly suggest is that you get some sort of roommate situation. That's what most people do at first, because it helps you cut costs. Share an apartment or a trailer (two bedroom trailers do exist) for a while, until you get your feet under you, financially. Then decide your next steps. So for now, start looking at places like Craigslist, and your newspaper classified ads, to see what apartment shares cost where you live.

In addition, make it a priority to find a better job.

You might qualify for food stamps. You won't qualify for WIC, since you don't have a kid. Google Food Stamps and learn what the process is.

An option for you is the military. They'd pay you, house you, clothe you, feed you. You'd gain solid work experience, especially if you can get into their medical or one of their trade fields. They'd even pay for you to go to college when you came out. If you want to consider a branch where you don't tend to get deployed, look at the Coast Guard. There's actually a Coast Guard base right there in Virginia Beach, so you may be able to get in locally. Maybe go online and find a local recruiter, go speak to him about your options, see what you think. You don't have to commit to anything - just go talk to him and see what you think.

Answer
He needs to set it up himself or give you a Power of Attorney to do it.

You will be stationed in Kaneohe Bay Marine Corps Base. it is quite nice has several beaches, decent size commissary and exchange as well. 20 minutes away over the H3 is Pearl Harbor-Hickam base then another 20/25 minutes past that is Schofield Barracks. you also have downtown Waikiki about 20/30 minutes away. Everything is close by and easy to get to.

The military will not store anything for you at all, the only time they do that is if you were going to Europe or Asia. You will need everything including a washer/dryer if you have one. They will ship one vehicle for you to that location as well. You can ship a second one if you want but it will be at your own cost. You have to get the vehicle to the closest drop off location which is probably Virginia. it will take about 6 weeks to get there. Or you can drive it to LA or San Diego and then ship it from there. They will give you MALT (mileage) and Per Diem for getting it there if that is an option. THey will provide plane tickets from where you are to Hawaii. There is a base hotel that he will need to book as soon as you have the information. Base housing is being redone and decent but there can be a waiting list so you can have to live out in town for a little while. They will provide up to 60 days of TLE (Temporary Lodging) if waiting for housing. But if you are offered a place and turned it down then you will only have 10 more days of TLE. During this time you are also getting BAH based on Hawaii. They can offer you housing in Manana which has been redone but it would be commute each day for him of about 30 minutes.

You will get 2 shipments of your HHG (household goods). The first one is just about everything you need. THe second shipment is called express, in there it can be up to 1000 lbs but is limited to certain sizes. Like you can't ship a big TV but a small one plus a small DVD player, sheets, towels, air mattresses, pillows, etc... You can get loaner furniture in Hawaii if you get base housing and your things are not there yet.

Pregnancy will be referred to Tripler AMC which is a decent hospital.

Go with an open attitude, it can be a great time if you make it that way. Don't visit everything in the first two months. Be respectful, try food/things at least once and you should have a great time.
