That is very familiar...I went through 10 weeks of Basic Training and an additional four weeks of Infantry Training before being assigned to Schools Battalion for another 10 weeks training as a truck mechanic...but to work on them, you had to be licensed...so the first week was spent getting our gov't drivers licenses on "deuce & a half's" and M151 "Jeeps"...It was amazing what a 10-wheel-drive truck could do...
