#2 Well, they didn't have to be taught how to report for pay--do they still do that?, or march, or deal with frostbite, or how to put insignia on Class A uniforms. Still, when I was in, eight weeks was Basic which prepared you for limited defensive fighting. Then you went to AIT to learn how to soldier. Infantry was nine more weeks and then the unit you went to taught you their SOP, if they had time.
This sounds bad.
