Yup, the Navy made a similar effort when I was in SELRES, though I don't think it was when I separated, I think they actually sent us to a class during a drill weekend.
But judging by all the payday lenders, sign-n-drive car lots and rent-to-own appliance places right outside the bases, all apparently doing good business, I don't think every one learns well what they were taught (You know what "MARINE" stands for, after all...
).
Plus, as you say, always good to learn more. And you may just need to be reminded of something you already know. For example: if you've tightened your budget as much as you can, what are you doing to increase your income....? Besides trying to sell a book before it's ready, that is....
