I can't speak for all mil programs, but I wager most students are learning fairly advanced aircraft while also learning all the airmanship knowledge that comes with being an aviator. 121 you should have 1/2 of that pretty well locked, right..?
His statement is a bit exaggerated. The biggest learning curve issues I've seen are the quick time frame to go from entering an aircraft to departing and a lot of radio issues in congested areas. Some of the older pilots both of age and of airplane struggle with automation management. It's nothing that can't be resolved in 6 months of line flying.
