There are courses that will help you earn your C-card in a week or so. Several agencies have their courses on DVD so you can learn some of the class material at home. Ask about it.

Since you live in Ohio, consider only buying basic gear, ie. mask, fins, booties, etc..). Unless you really plan on diving a lot, in my opinion, it isn't worth buying a BC, gauges, 1st & 2nd stages, etc... You'll find it a great pain in the buttocks if you travel with all that gear, especially if you buy a tank.
