I don't doubt you at all. I'm saying what is actually taught, not what is written in the manual.
A lot of things in the manuals (old and new) aren't actively taught to everyone in the Army. For instance, the medical corps doesn't get intense demolition training, despite the fact that the manuals I've seen teach improvised explosives.
There are priorities, after all . . .
But like I said, anyone has the option to learn a lot. As long as you don't mind getting smacked around by a Srgnt. Hamhock.
