Yeah I was just exaggerating about the 4 month thing (also exaggerating about the Atlesian Wal-Mart reservist corps) :P  I was just trying to rationalize why the Atlas soldiers were so useless in a fight compared to Huntsmen/Huntresses.

A for Jaune, I imagine that prior to Beacon, he lived a comfortable life and never had to fight anyone or anything in his life, which explains why he didn't know about Aura and Semblance. Roman would've had to know it or otherwise been beaten to a pulp or even killed, so even if he didnt know the specifics and nature of Aura, he still had to know how to use it and how to fight in general.

Ultimately, I think Roman was just a guy who was caught up in something way bigger than he bargained for, and he knew it, possibly from the start. He didn't want to be a part of it, but he had no choice, since it was either help Cinder or die with the rest (from his point of view).

But that's not to say he's not a very interesting villain, he's just a guy looking out for himself (and maybe Neo) and trying to survive best he can, and he doesn't care who gets in the way of that. In that respect, he's very interesting cause he's so human. I'd argue that he's almost more interesting because of that than magical power-hungry witch (Cinder) and the fairy godmotherofhorrors (Salem).

And no problem, speculating about Remnant and stuff is almost as fun to me as watching the show, especially during the off-season...
