Even as a noble, she should undergo this kind of training, otherwise how would she know about maneouvres, tactics, survival, weapons etc...
Actually, what her father said seems to imply that nobles can choose their positions in the imperial military, so I wouldn't be suprised if she didnt go thru any real training at all.

Hmm, I very much like the idea of Alice having to choose between nobility and her unit, S.S. III. It would really be the ultimate choice for her; as she views the two as one: because she's noble, she must serve war relief. But what if she gets disinherited, and is no longer a noble? I hope it goes towards that conflict.
