IT could also be argued that the military may not teach them time management...as a general member, you follow a schedule laid out by a superior, would you not? Its not like every private gets to sit there with a planner and say ,"right, 0630, breakfast, 0700 PT, 0800 range practice, well, no, ok, i could do range practice at 1100." When they leave the military, how will they respond to a university without the structure provided in their military training? Is that any easier than jumping from HS to university?

I agree with that. It always struck me as well that the military claimed to teach leadership skills. I don't see those leadership skills translating very well to the real world though. Consider in the real world, you have to lead people with free will. In the military, if you're a 'leader,' people do what you say, or they go to prison.
Translating military skills to real-world skills I think is pretty darned difficult.
