But since you keep bringing that up, let's try this: Instead of 6 weeks of basic training and then a few more weeks (sometimes months) of specialized training before being sent into combat, how about a program that is only one week of basic training and then the soldiers are shipped into combat while they complete the rest of the training when they aren't on duty?

That's how these alternative certification programs work.
