shake and bake (military)

[Quantz]

Context is Vietnam war.

The Army had already resorted to a variety of NCO programs that took promising trainees, gave them additional leadership instruction, and pushed out “shake and bake” sergeants.

Dois-je comprendre qu'on promeut des sergents "frais émoulus", encore inexpérimentés ?

Hi,

A "Shake n' Bake Sergeant" was a Vietnam War-era term for a young, non-commissioned officer (NCO) of the United States Army who gained his stripes quickly through attending an NCO school with little actual time in the military

 

[Quantz]

Thank you so much for that piece of history.

Prêts à l'emploi ?

Non, il faut conserver la formule telle quelle et l'expliquer.

Shake 'n Bake est une marque commerciale pour une préparation-minute de viande panée. Mettez la viande dans le sachet de plastique contenant la panure, secouez puis faites cuire. L'idée derrière le terme shake and bake sergeant est celle de fast food : un sergent à préparation rapide, pour ainsi dire.
