The US Army (during the Vietnam War era) had a program called the "Shake N bake" school; instant NCO's (instant E-5s/Buck Sergeants). A 19 to 23 year old man was inducted into the USA; completed his Basic training, then his AIT, then he went to NCO school (Shake N Bake). Upon graduation in weeks to months, he was an "instant" Sgt. Then it was off to RVN.
Shake N Bake came from a television commercial during the 1960s of a housewife tossing an uncooked piece of chicken into a clear plastic bag full of baking dough,/flour & shaking it, then cooking it for instant cooked chicken.
