SGC personnel and explosives training

[writinginct]

So I have this wonderful bunny for my LJ jd_ficathon entry but I ran into a snafu.  Or maybe not so much as a snafu as an "I might need to fix this" sort of thing.

Anywho, my question is:  how much explosives (ie C-4, claymores, et cetera) training do new, very green SGC personnel (think the kids in "Proving Ground") have?  I have no idea how much experience they would have with explosives at the Academy, AFROTC training, or in standard enlisted basic training.

The scenario I'd like to present in the fic is one of Jack actually running a basic explosives training class for any new military or civilians that will will be going off world.  But if the actual military newbies would have already had some sort of formal training I'll need to rework the idea as not to step on that.

Thanks for the help :)

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].

I can almost see Jack saying that.

Yah, I'm pretty sure Jack is a Bill Murray fan.... ;)
