It is and it isn't. You're scheduled but no one is going to crack the whip if you skip class and most do.

I'm assuming that you mean the Officer Corps. The army is the army and institutional change for an army this size is slow. While a degree is now a requirement, most of the training and management knowledge is still attained through the regiment.

On this issue, very little has changed. Though now technically, you can go through your military career as a non-commissioned member, most don't. There is not enough prestige in being a Senior NCM and in China, old dinosaurs don't take orders from young geeks.

As effective as the Boy Scouts.
