garbage. your area should have a special trash collection day where people put out oversized stuff. go root around and find something good. none of that stuff needs to work in order for you to take it apart, and you will learn how to fix it as well.

college towns are really good for this because kids are throwing whole apartments worth of stuff away as they move to their fancy new jobs.

get tools from flea markets, pawn shops, and yard sales. fill in the gaps with harbor freight only when you need to.

Not if you avoid bulletsponge MOS, but join the Air Force because much more interesting tech and higher enlistment standards. The military doesn't have to suck. Choose wisely.
