im with the nj national guard for our annual training we had to drive about 6 hours to blackstone,va thru 81 and the backwoods of Virginia(besides a little scratch to somebody car and some smoking breaks we made it in one piece) we had guys who just got their drivers license hauling a trailer full of weapons and sensitive materials, all the training they had was me(I still consider myself a rookie) for about 30 minutes teaching them how to operate the airbrakes, a quick drive around the block (army uses Allison automatic transmissions with a c7 engine), after that they all got the army cdl. just because you are booksmart doesn't make you a driver, it doesn't benefit the active army as much as it benefits the one in the national guard or reserves.
