See, I'm not totally down with the idea of the GI Joe team as a covert organization. The idea of a "secret army" and federal non-transparency, in my mind, sort of runs against the whole idea of them being the leading tip of a democratic country's CT force (the whole "do as we say, not do as we do" thing). I can see them being covert in the same sense as the other JSOC units or the CIA's SOGs: their existence isn't kept a secret from the general public, but anything beyond that (such as mission profiles & outcomes, organizational details, etc.) is classified.
As for training... I'd imagine that most Joes would have already received the bulk of their individual specialist training prior to Joe selection, and the training they do within the Joe team is more akin to unit-level/integrative/collective training.
