I can relate to this. Back in highschool I took also the training to be a CAT officer, we called it MOCC/COCC. But the catch was, I wasnt able to finish my last training, which is the summer training because I didnt have the paraphernalia like combat shoes, sword etc and we couldnt afford to buy back then. So when I became 4th year, I was just a regular cadet but we didnt attended the formation every Friday not unless our PE teacherlooks for us lol
