How much training did an American soldier see between basic and advanced training, and local training as in Britain, before actually seeing combat?

My father, The United States Army Air Corps (USAAC), told me to learn how to jump with a parachute, he had to jump from the top of a moving truck: not land solidly on your feet, to roll hit your shoulder & continue to roll.
