5. Discuss the importance of military training for both male and female
Men and Women should train together during basic training because it increases
productiveness. When men and women were joined together for the first time on the
battlefield, it took some time for them to work together effectively. In contrast, by attending
basic training together, they learn how each other do certain things and adapt to it; this
increases productivity and decreases the time that it takes to complete a task. For instance, a
quarterback on a football team learns a receiver's speed and technique, therefore completing
more passes. Productivity is important in today's warfare because of all of the high-tech
weapons.
