I learned map and compass at that age. During an exercise (as conscript), I was in charge of them and we were to get back to our airbase as fast as possible. Our squad was the last to leave (2 hours after the first) and I had a fucked-up knee. We arrived second at the base, only ten minutes after the squad that left first (I still thank that teacher today). The answer might be that officers don't ever reach the mental age of 9.
