"It's difficult to imagine a scenario under the currently approved budget where we could continue to go forward with that cadet class," said Jason Spencer, Gonzalez’s chief of staff."I don't know yet whether it's impossible, and so we have to look at what other options we would have, but we know it's going to be drastic and it's going to impact service levels.
