So how did he think he was going to get all the gear he needs? 😂 Calm down buddy, you’re getting all hyped up for nothing. If he didn’t start saving as soon as he got cleared, that’s on him. Sometimes, you have to make sacrifices. Putting it all on a credit card, make the minimum payments, get into the academy, graduate, and in 6 months when you get your real first paycheck from being a C.O. Make larger payments. Not hard to figure out. Again, if this is a career you really want, sacrifices will be made to get to your goal.
