So here’s the thing my fiancĂ© has a little brother who is trying to join the military, he’s 19 and was kicked out of school in 11th grade only needing 8 credits to graduate and without a high school diploma he cannot join the USAF is there any online school that accepts combining credits after the age of 18

Keystone National High School has a credit recovery program.

Have him discuss it with an Air Force recruiter.

he has and they tell him he will need 15 college credits but hasn’t found a college that will help with his situation

Has he tried several college’s? How about testing out some college credits? There has got to be a program to help him with this. If you want I can talk with someone here at this base to see what it would take to have him get started in the Air Force.

Can he go for a GED test? The local high school will usually offer prep classes and tests for 18 year old.

As Aesthetic_Mess mentioned, Keystone is a home-based private school program that can be taken via correspondence (mail) or online, and offers both Credit Recovery and full High School programs. There may also be a tuition-free virtual high school where you live, but most states only allow students up to a certain age to attend. I know in some states the age is 22 but in many others it is lower than that. It might be worth looking into, but your fiance’s brother should be able to find the courses he needs whether it be a community college, online school, or other. Just for full disclosure, I need to let you know that I work for the company that operates Keystone’s online school programs, and I can tell you that our graduates have gone to many great schools/universities and the military as well.

I got my high school diploma after not being able to graduate because of loss of credits with Penn Foster. Really easy, but it costs money. Extremely worth it though.
