I hope someone from the military can step in to tell us how
much time they were given to get the code down. I think
they had to "Cram".

Navy RM "A" School, the basic school which trained Navy Radiomen, was
13-weeks long. Morse practice was 3 hours per day, 4 days per week, but
students could come in after-hours for additional practice. Graduation
requirement was to be able to copy 5-letter coded groups at 18WPM for 10
minutes, with 3 uncorrected errors allowed.

Thanks!
