Gosh that's new(ish) I was in the ATC and we absolutely did not have tests. We probably should have to be fair, as there was a incident where another cadet loaded his rifle while people were down range (I was one of them) and - I swear to god - I have never heard someone go off like that instructor. Kid probably still has PTSD.
But yeah the had us firing low-caliber rifles on the first week with no safety training whatsoever
