Much of the young men's first week at Sleepy Waters was essentially an individual assessment. All were required to participate in a series of physical tests, but everybody as active enough as youths to pass without a problem. What was harder was the skills aptitude test, which consisted of a series of written and practical tests, ranging from mathematics to mechanical repairs. The proficiency of these skills were under the responsibility of the community each young man grew up with, an investment for the futre workforce although for the Army, it was meant to assign each young man's labor job to feed back into the war machine. Almost everybody failed at least one, everybody passed at least one, showing that they have the ability to contribute to the Nation.
These were all boring compared to the marksmanship test, which the young men were most competetive with. It was also the test that Sleepy Waters were most encouraging and supportive in ensuring each man qualified as high as they could. Everybody has experience with shooting a firearm, especially boys. If not one's father, an uncle or cousin would take a boy to a local range to practice shooting. Even girls, who while were not meant to enter the same Youthful Journey as boys, still learned how to operate a firearm almost like it was a sport.
There was a new rifle being distributed throughout the army; the Breech-Loader. Nearly every boy played around with a Muzzle-Loader, so there was some extra time invested into their assessment to teach them how to operate the new Breech-Loader which reloaded at record speeds. Although everybody qualified for the traditional marksmanship examination, around half failed the Rapid Fire Assessment. Those who failed felt disappointed but they were reassured it would not affect their Youthful Journey; the Rapid Fire Assessment was simply an experiment for the Army. In fact, your coaches asked you many questions on how it handled and what confused you, what you would recommend etc.

There is no mention of it in the Men's Code.

It is better to ask for forgiveness than to ask permission in my threads.
You boys will most certainly be serving in the same unit, not as enemies but as peers. Whether you hate or appreciate each other is up to you.
