The whole company reported to the familiarization fire range today with their weapons to shoot at targets that are computer programmed to pop up in different locations on the range. Cadets cycled through and competed for highest scores, while those who were finished sang cadences (songs designed to keep soldiers in step on march) in the bleachers. This afternoon, Cadets retired to their barracks to clean and maintain their weapons.
