That's not a big deal.
I felt the same with groups of 20K lines plus, low % Util. Low INQ's etc and i only got approved at first with 3K.
Was about to throw in the towel and move on but at 90+ days AR the silly thing shot up to 15K.
After that it soared straight up to max.
With some approvals like that you just have to go with it because they ALWAYS seem to make up the difference to expectations eventually 
I didn't try to post the same or similiar post. When I am new to the board. When I posted. I got an error message so I tried to post another time. That's why. Sorry for the confusion.. 
NFCU it like a new girlfriend..(Mod Cut-Narrative not necessary). Think more eHarmony than Tinder.

You are coming along nicely.
If Navy is slacking from the right out the bat 25k limits recently could be the recent trends of defaults throughout the cc industry. However, its extremely hard to find any lender who treats peoples credit better after only a 3 or 4 month getting to know me period. That $4500 could easily become 20k in one cli request or more( or less). Point is Navy is more than worth a couple months , even 6, to wait. Heck within a few months you could have 2 different cards that both have same potential. I would continue to highly recommend just be sure to let them know sometimes the bread neast yeast

I got my card from NFCU less than a year ago I beieve and they started me at $6500, which is definitely on the lower end; however after a few months they increased to over $20k, so maybe they want to get to know you a little better.
I was always really surprised by the high limits they handed out to people with low or iffy credit. I think the potential is still there, but maybe you need to wait a few cycles.

No need to apologize. This has happened to me a few times, where I have made the same post because I didn't think the other had posted. We're just glad you're here on the forums.
And like others have said, NFCU credit llimits can grow exponentially. My own card started at $5,500 and then increased to $14,500 after three months. And that is with relatively low income to most here. So, your friend's card can grow if he waits it out.
