I can certainly confirm that 6-7 years ago, the Army's take on courses running behind at DHFS could be summarised as, "We don't really care how many shortfalls they leave with, it's less for us to un-teach them when we get here". It does seem to support the fact that they aren't fully engaged with the concept of tri-service fundamentals of flying. Then again, I'm not an SH/AH pilot and so am perhaps not best placed to judge.
