Demolitions training [use of high explosive] is a Mission Operational Specialty for "boots on the ground" forces. Straight-up Academy graduates would not have this training [I'm going to double-check this, but AFAIK they don't even teach cadets to fly at the Academy, much less blow things up.]
As I recall, Claymores are supposed to be easy to deploy ["This Side Facing Enemy"], but it would require additional training [such as Major Kawalsky and apparently Captain Carter had] to deploy them for maximum effectiveness [as in CotG].
All higher ranks [i.e. Colonel] must have a Master's Degree or above. Jack's is in Combat Engineering, as a matter of fact [you can only tell by checking out the screencaps from his office], so he knows all kinds of stuff about destroying things.
Anyway, back to your question. Explosives training? Brand new First Lieutenants [Academy grads; AFROTC] won't have any, nor will green airmen [enlisted basic].
The items Jack is likely to cover in his class will not only include C4 and Our Friend The Timing Pencil, but grenades [once you pull the pin, Mister Grenade is not your friend].
