The "3 blasts" practice test includes: Shooting hidden targets, showing AK submachine guns during the day; Throw grenades far to the target and the technique of tying, hitting explosives. Before the test day, many newcomers were determined to get good points right from the first test.
In the early morning, at the live-fire test range of Military School of Military Region 3, there was a bustling atmosphere of competition for "good shot flowers" between groups and individuals. This is a test to assess the actual qualifications, organizational ability and training methods of officials; the ability to use weapons and technical equipment on the payroll as well as the postures and movements of new soldiers. Therefore, from the staff, unit commanders to each soldier, they all showed high determination and emulation to perform well the inspection content.
Preparing to go to the firing line, new soldier Vu Tien Anh, in 7th Platoon (5th Company, 3rd Battalion) and his teammates still took advantage of time to exchange and share experiences instructed by the unit commander during training such as: Keep calm, breathe evenly, hold the gun firmly or eliminate the shock of the weather.
Thanks to mastering the theory, mastering the movements, and manipulating the right techniques, right from the first shot, 5/8 of the soldiers achieved good results. “I am very happy when I won high results and was awarded the “Good shot flower”. To achieve this result, in addition to the psychological factor and confidence when entering the firing line, I always followed the correct steps when practicing shooting, especially the movement of holding the gun, holding the breath and pulling the trigger, which gradually increased," said new soldier Le Hoang, 6th Platoon, 4A Company, 3rd Battalion.
According to Colonel Trinh Van Ngo, Rector of Military School of Military Region 3, in order to better serve the content of the "3 explosions" test for new soldiers, over the past time, the Party Committee and the School's Board of Management have led and directed agencies and units to do well in preparing the field and in training grounds, ensuring the conditions of facilities, weapons and equipment; focus on training to improve the ability to practice weak areas and movements; strengthen the work of mastery, political and ideological education, building weak areas, bravery and determination to achieve the highest results and absolute safety.

Therefore, right from the beginning of 2023, before receiving new soldiers, the Party Committee and Board of Management of the University have directed agencies and units to do well in training and fostering staff, especially officers at the squadron, platoon and company levels on management methods, training organization, and maintenance; training process. The school requires training staff at all levels to always follow up meticulously, specifically, closely to each soldier; implement "correct it somewhere", resolutely overcome the thought of being afraid to learn, afraid to practice, to practice through speakers, perfunctory. Along with that, cadres at all levels must regularly pay attention, stay close, grasp the thoughts and feelings of new soldiers, promptly solve all problems of soldiers," Colonel Trinh Van Ngo added.
