As part of indoc, the new hires were required in 2008 to JS out/back to see the operation. I imagine it's the same now. When I did it, we had everything we needed to jumpseat, and a special code to use when calling the jumpseat desk for booking it.

It's a great way to see the how everything in the FOM comes together on the line. I imagine for the military folks without airline experience, it's really helpful.
