As memory serves, I put a few too many down range on auto during basic, and got my helmet wacked by the instructor, thus learning not to do that again.
We didn't get time out cards back then, he was right, I was learning, and that's that.
Since I did my basic back in '71, I couldn't give you the details if you offered me millions, but that would probably have been during the night fire training. Don't recall any intentional day auto work during basic....
'course later on, when I was the range medic, there was all that ammo left over during unit qualification (stange it seemed to me that many didn't like to shoot and avoided the whole thing) that we couldn't turn back in, so the lack of day auto training was rectified later.
