Yes, in 5 working days we used to teach 2 crews oceanic NAT procedures and US civil/mil operations in bother benign and austere environments. A total of 10 legs, 5 for each student crew. This enabled us to clear the student crews for out-of-area operations with reasonable assurance that they would be able to cope on their own. It also gave the GEs a chance to train up new GEs; on each day they would adopt one trade under the supervision of the 'real' GEs - they were able to pack an enormous amount of trade training into those 5 days. Our 'States Trainers' were always programmed to suit the training requirements of both aircrew and ground crew.
We then taught the student crews AAR trail procedures on a weekend trip to Cyprus / Palermo with 4 x FJs. 2 x 2 outbound, with one tanker landing at Palermo and the other in Cyprus. Then a 4 ball inbound, with a tanker/tanker RV east of Palermo; one tanker taking the 4 ball the rest of the way, the other night-stopping in Palermo.
A proven, effective way of training which used to turn out crews trained for world-wide AAR operations. It worked well for many, many years.....until, that is, an interfering micro-manager decided to change everything, without any good reason except that he had to know best. Probably the worst Sqn Cdr we ever had....
And both the States Trainers and Trails involved quite an element of fun, of course!
