I've got a fun question...  As usual, I've been focused on the first few years of Dwarven settlement.  I've noticed that when I bring a soldier on Embark SwordDwarf(I), ArmorSmith(I), Shield(I), Armor(II), Teacher(V) that I seem to be able to train up full squads of dwarves pretty quickly - faster it seems than not having Teacher(V) and trying the same. 

However I also note that in some cases, this same dwarf has Rusty or Very Rusty associated with his Teacher(V) skill, which seems at odds since he's supposedly using such to run regular demonstrations.  Any idea why this might be?  Any thoughts how to encourage him to run demonstrations more often since it seems to be an effective method to train larger groups simultaneously rather than trying to pair up soldiers?

A note as to their progression.  I usually get 2 dwarves sparring early on (within a season or two) and as migrants arrive keep assigning dwarves till I get a full squad - this raises the instructor's combat skills up in the meantime while the squad is forming.  Within a year or so they get relatively respectable as a group.  (Lvl 4+ in critical military skills).  At that point I usually take him and the most experienced dwarf out to form the training core of additional rookie squads.
