More details to this question:
I just have a simple question. I had asked others but I am getting mixed answers. I joined the Armed Forces but was disqualified from Boot Camp and sent back home. Now I live with my mother again. I want to know if she is still financially responsible for me or if joining the Armed Forces and receiving my DD214 exempts her from any financial responsibility. I am nineteen years old, also.

If you're 19, you're an adult, responsible for yourself.

In 19 years of age, your debts are your own unless your mother as somehow cosigned or agreed to be responsible for them provided that they were incurred after age 18.

Once you turn 18, your parents are legally not responsible for you. I am not sure what joining the armed forces would mean and receiving a DD214 means.
