==Recruit live fire training==
Marine recruits undertake two different courses of fire while learning how to use the [[M16 rifle]]. During their first week of weapons training (known as Grass Week), recruits learn in a classroom setting with instruction coming from a PMI (Primary Marksmanship Instructor). On the second week (known as Firing Week), recruits will go to one of the three KD (known distance) ranges to fire Table 1A, their first course of fire.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.mcrdsd.marines.mil/News/News-Article-Display/Article/586329/recruits-learn-the-basic-fundamentals-of-marksmanship/|title=Recruits learn the basic fundamentals of marksmanship|work=Marine Corps Recruit Depot, San Diego|access-date=2017-03-29|language=en-US}}</ref> The three live fire ranges aboard Edson Range where Table 1 is fired are the "world famous" Bravo Range, Charlie Range, and Delta Range. The week after qualifying on Table 1 is spent on Alpha Range where the recruits will fire Table 2, which is the introduction to the Marine Corps' Combat Marksmanship Program.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.palomar.edu/camppendleton/images/maps/new_maps/edson.pdf |title=Archived copy |access-date=2010-06-01 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110927114417/http://www.palomar.edu/camppendleton/images/maps/new_maps/edson.pdf |archive-date=2011-09-27 }}</ref>
