We trained a little bit with frags but first practiced with inert (painted blue) practice grenades. I think it depends on your MOS, but as a Combat Engineer and I'm sure Infantry also did a little more explosives training.
I just remember the Drill Sergeant saying that if a grenade was dropped, the safest thing to do was drop to the ground as far away as possible as the grenade had a "V" shaped blast zone.
Didn't sound very convincing to me but I grew up playing baseball so throwing at a target was a breeze.
