Yeah, that's how I did it. And I did it with less than 3.5k for flight training, while going to classes and pumping gas on FBO ramps... taking most of my rides with the Feds (you do know that the Feds cannot charge you for a check ride, right?). I also did my CFI initial check ride for free with the local FSDO... then got hired as a CFI at a local flight school, and my II, MEI were also free as the flight school with which I was hired had a DE who didn't charge his CFI's for check-rides.
It's called networking, prospecting, studying hard.

Yuup sir networking, prospecting and studying hard are the key. Thanks a lot sir have a good night.

Yes, respect is earned. Remember that.
I don't think he was trying to correct you, rather I feel he was trying to see how you reacted to being corrected.
If you have the same attitude in an interview, or if a DE tries to correct you, you will lose every time.
And don't be a kiss ass either.... sir.
Sleep well... and learn from those you trust, before you learn from your mistakes.
Either way, learn.

Well I've learned a lesson today. Thanks

It sounds like your real goal is an airline pilot job. If that's true, then don't bother researching or pursuing the military route. It's not a stepping stone path to the airlines. You can end up at an airline (and no, it's not always "now probs" ) but you need to have more reasons to serve than just getting on with an airline. You would also need to be okay with taking that path and never getting on the airline track. 10+ years is a long time.
Do you have some flight experience yet? What is drawing you toward this particular career path?

Spell check would help you better say whatever it is you're trying to say. But, I think I got the gist.

Well ok i have 0 flight experience, the only flight experience I have is flying a c172 and a c172 sim at ERAU (was only for a few hours)with a scholarship I earned to attend their amazing summer camp. Even though I might not have adequate flight experience, being an Airline Pilot has been a dream of mine since the beginning of middle school. I even get my adrenaline pumping everytime I see plane fly close by. So I'm trying to make a well constructed plan now, so I won't have such of a great headache after this last year of highschool and not disappoint my parents and my self. Just in case you haven't seen my earlier posts I'm looking into FIU and earn a degree in something usefull while going to this flight school around 18-20 min away from it called PTC~39k for: PPL instrument, commercial, and multi. And oh we'll Ima have to find another flight school that provide CFI classes. And yes I'm only trying to pursue the Airline Pilot career.

You've got a little bit of exposure to flying at ERAU - good. Maybe it would be worthwhile to get some more just to continue to explore this career path you're considering. Continue to prepare, evaluate options and plan. Don't burn bridges. But, take some time this summer and even during senior year to take some flying lessons. Find out if you have some aptitude and like it as much as you think you do.
Good luck.

I realize you don't have much experience. That's okay, everyone's got to start somewhere. However, dreams and reality sometimes end up being quite a bit different.
