That, or the Empire is full of Kriegsman and they are superfluous as our morale is impeccable

Though this does get me curious. Probably should have asked this before but what training standards are the minimum for cadets to even be considered to go out into the field? They'd obviously not throw in extremely young ones with no training in combat or tactics but it does not seem to be the best of the best cadets either.

Well basic training exists to elevate soldiers to a common standard so they can be deployed with a uniform minimum level of effectiveness. However in a setting like this with Vessels being so proliferated it can be expected that some would take efforts to develop their skills before even entering. Ires has the standards of maintaining her royale pedigree, Leblanc got involved in street fights, turf wars, an a few gristly disappearences no Imperial official can directly link, etc.

So in terms of individual combat ability the standards fluctuate, but due to inexperience their group work is low across the board. If they still had their Captain with them then it would be better, but with an inexperienced and unfamiliar leader, things aren't as peachy as they once were.
