Sorry to say that the products from initial ATC training are as much of a problem in the Military as for you NATS fellas. It should be the case that basic ATC skills are fully embedded prior to arrival at the ATC Unit - however it is too often the case that basic things are having to be re-taught by the Unit Instructors (OJTIs in your jargon). In the Military as with NATS the financial imperative seems to be the abiding driving force - tail wagging the dog?? As mentioned before - throwing training hours at a trainee in the hope that some of it will stick is onerous and stressful for the trainee and the instructor!
