> Eight months seems pretty quick to me

Even less nowadays. I think I saw that infantry training in the US Army was extended in the past few years from 14 weeks to 22 weeks (including basic combat training). On top of that, both times I deployed, we had people fresh from initial entry training who hadn't been in the unit a month before we shipped out, leaving minimal time for additional training. Most of that time before deploying was spent doing various types of paperwork, processing, briefings, and other stuff that wasn't training.
