Dude should have just walked down to the local mechanic. Better pay and hours

Would a local mechanic train a stranger who had zero knowledge?

The Army doesn't either. He scored highly on the test for that.

The ASVAB tests for aptitude, hence the name, not the ability to step into a job without training. Looks up practice questions for the Mechanical Comprehension portion to see the kinds of questions that might suggest someone could be a good mechanic.

The U.S. army absolutely does provide training to its mechanics, and does not assume people know jack shit coming in. I scored high enough on the MM portion of the ASVAB to be one and don't don't know a damn thing about fixing vehicles.

That sounds like the responsible thing to do, with reasonable expectations
