Be me in army

mandatory in my shitty country

first time we noob soldiers fire our guns

we lay in the ground and get ready

drill instructor yells "are you ready?"

i yell back "ai ai captain"

random guy two rows away yells " i cant hear you" drill instructor mad and tries to find out who mocked him

i yell again "oooooo"

random guy shots a rock 10 meters in front of him from laughter ( the target was 300 meter away)

dust rises up and one general runs and screams at drill instructor

we march back to camp 10 kilometers instead of driving

i am attending the "i cant hear you" guy wedding next week

The first time you shoot your weapon (at least from an american basic training perspective) is when you learn to zero your weapon. That will be at 25 meter targets. You might shoot more later in the day but usually it takes a full day to get everyone zeroed. The next day is usually qualifying with your rifle. Those targets are 25-300 meters.

Yes exactly, you’re right.
