9-12 months? One doesn't learn much in that time...although the way the youth of today are maybe they can't be away from their video games and Tik Tok for my h longer. Hopefully when they get sent to war it only lasts 9-12 months huh?

I was in the army for 9 months. Infantry training lasted for three months, during which I learned a lot. it's not as long as the war, but if I were forced to be in the war in some future period (those 10 years in the reserve), I would probably manage...
I spent the next 6 months working in the workshop/armoury. I don't know how many weapons I conserved.
When one joins the ADF here, one joins for 6 years because nine months isn't long enough to learn a category. For instance, one of my friends joined and did basic then spent three years learning her job (cryptologic linguistics) learning another language along the way and will then spend three years doing it. They will ask her to re-up and offer her a chunk of tax free money to do so (about $70,000) before the end of the total six years.
Anyway, other countries do it differently I guess.
