I don't see a "Ruck" in any of those pictures...Rucking means you're humping "significant weight" not a fanny pack and a fucking water bottle.

Maybe there needs to be a block of instruction on what ii means to hike, rock scrambling, climbing, rucking, etc. Think we're weak on the "tasks, conditions, standards" portion of the mission
