This mission is very easy it introduces you to Operation Flashpoint. The mission will start in front of the barracks on a base.

A waypoint will appear to guide you towards the location. Once you get back put your rifle on your back, do this via the action menu.

Now the more "fun" part will start. Follow your squad into the truck just outside the base. Get in the back of the truck (Note: you need to be at the back and then an option will appear in the action menu to get in.) and it will drive to the obstacle course. Your drill instructer will order your the move down the obstacle course (Tip: Remain inside the obstacles and switch to 3rd person view to navigate easier.). At the end of the lane you must run between the 2 concrete cones otherwise you will need to do it again. After you completed this move back into the back of the truck.

This last part is were the fun really begin you actually can take your frustration out on some targets. After the order to get some ammo move to the ammo crate to the right of the firing range and grab some magazines. Now move to the closest lane and you'll see three targets. Each target needs to be hit three times. You can either select single-or burst mode by pressing on the spacebar. Destroy all three targets. The mission will end afterwards.
