Bootcamp isn't about skills, it's about breaking down the civilian mentality and then building back up a military one.

For those destined to be more than cannon fodder, the skills training comes in advanced courses that last months or occasionally years (e.g. nuclear sub courses).

Uh no, it's about skills, and you learn a lot of them in 8 weeks which disproves that you can't learn any in 10.

Unless you're in the Navy, then it's about keeping clean so you don't piss off everyone else on the ship. :-)
