Rucking

Yeah, you can ruck run. And completely fuck your back, your ankles and your knees. How about just walking with one on before you decide to fuck your career before it even begins.

Try Ebay. I got a good deal on a Large Ruck, frame, kidney pad, and shoulder straps from there.

That along with a frame is identical to what they'll issue you with your TA50 gear in Basic, although it's a waste of money if you ask me. Just load a good backpack down with 45 lbs. and go at it, move up to 85 lbs. for marches, that's about what we had on in full battle rattle at Sill.

Bull-fucking-shit! 85lbs. my ass! You're a broke-dick in AIT. What the fuck do you know about rucking? Shut the fuck up. So many people have tried to be nice to you, but you keep fucking it up with your bullshit! Every motherfucker here has been through BCT and AIT; it isn't shit! Shut up about how tough it is; it's a fucking vacation where you don't have to think, just follow simple instructions.

You are in severe need of a blanket party with e-tools in laundry-bags!

Next you'll be telling us how they break down an M198 in Airborne School and have your stick jump the pieces in.

It's true, I got stuck with one of the tires and I'm only 5'5", so it was a pretty rough landding and I broke both my ankles even though I was wearing the ankle guards.

The mean-ass Sergeant Airborne's still made me hump it all off the field.

I had to wait to see a doctor or they would have kicked me out of BAC.

When I finally saw one, he said that was the worst injury he has ever seen from BAC, and that this kind of rough treatment will not happen to trainee's from now on.

I think it was because all my Sergeant Airborne's had Ranger tabs.

I never got to work with the M198, But when I went through OSUT in Ft Sill The instructers loved for us to have races with M102's. They would have the gun section grab the trails and run them across a rather large parking lot, then emplace the howitzer. You really didnt want to lose these races.
