I doubt they provide a boresnake, all I got in my (Canadian) basic was an issue cleaning kit with a rod and patches. A boresnake in no way replaces these things, but it's damned handy to run through your barrel before morning inspection when it's spent all night sweating carbon from the CLP you used to clean.
That said, if your Sgt is any damned good he will find carbon no matter how well you clean your weapon - he showed me after the course how he'd run his finger along the inside of the ejection port and get some every time.
