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 :)
