Reaper,
I had read your rucking post which was very indepth, and enlightening. I have heard from a few Rangers that also rucking with that same weight range for training anywhere from 45-60lbs max is what a hopeful candidate will want to do to alleviate, and avoid possible injury. What I was a little curious about is, I know alot of you Special Forces operators are rucking anywhere from 100-120lbs downrange. I do rem you saying boss that you should ruck with 45-55lbs as a max, but how do you condition yourself to humping a sometimes 50% inscrease in weight?? One thing I found interesting is the amount of weight for a static line parachute jump, or even a HALO jump where you can be carrying about 185-210 lbs 
Respectfully,

How do you practice for being shot without being shot?
You should have read the number of times here where I have told civilian wannabes to focus on the 25 meter target.
Odds are less than 1 in 4 that you will have to worry about it. Just follow the instructions and as Razor said, BPT embrace the suck.
