“The life of a Repo Man is always intense.”
Yes and if they get married and the wife doesn’t work their cars/trucks get repossessed. One of my daughters lived in an apartment complex where many newlywed soldiers lived, the repo man was a frequent visitor to the complex.
Most learn about finances the hard way. The military tries to give them classes and advice, but for most it goes in one ear and out the other.

Little cars with a humped top, bulging rear window, no head room, no leg room, total death trap.
Typical of 90% of the crap on sale today.

Early life
Calvin Coolidge Worthington was born on November 27, 1920 in the now-defunct town of Bly, Oklahoma,[3][4][5] three weeks after his namesake, Calvin Coolidge, had been elected Vice President of the United States.[1][6] Worthington grew up in grinding poverty, one of nine children, and dropped out of school at the age of 13. His first job was as a water boy on a road construction crew for 15 cents an hour.[7] He joined the Civilian Conservation Corps[1] at age 15.
World War II
At the beginning of World War II, Worthington enlisted in the Army Air Corps. Commissioned a Second Lieutenant, he was the aerobatics champion at Goodfellow Field in San Angelo, Texas. He saw combat as a B-17 Flying Fortress pilot with the 390th Bomber Group, flying 29 missions over Germany. He was discharged after the war as a captain. Worthington was awarded the Air Medal five times, and received the Distinguished Flying Cross, which was presented to him by General Jimmy Doolittle.
Worthington’s military service was frequently revisited in the 21st century in aviation magazines, since he had trained pilots who would become some of America’s first astronauts.
