Once the a legionary recruit completed his basic training (circa mid 1st century AD), where there other "courses" offered to them, such as engineering, blacksmithing, book keeping etc.? Where did they learn these skills? Or were they taught this during basic, or once they were tasked to their respective legions, and given on-the-job-training?<br>
<br>
I am just curious, because in modern armies (at least western based ones), you do your basic, then you specialize in your MOC like infantry, artillery, storeman, transport etc. From there you can add more training courses, such as reconnaissance, comms courses, driver wheeled, machine gunner, etc.<br>
<br>
Thanks! <p>
