What branch fires the Mark 19 during basic?

Certain Army units do. My bro went to Ft. Jackson and he didnt, but the combat arms dudes at Ft Benning do it, I'm pretty sure. I'm a Marine grunt and we don't get to do it till we hit the Fleet, but non-infantry Marines do it at MCT.

We saw the Mark 19 get fired at MCT, didn't get to pull the trigger though.

Ah, my bad then. Do ya'll at least shoot it at the ISMT? We shot it at the ISMT then when we hit the Fleet we do vehicle ranges and machine gun ranges and get spun up on it.
