I think this may have come off the wrong way, I only posted the specifics of the training program to avoid answering those annoying questions that I often see later in the thread, "well, what kind of boots do you wear? What kind of socks? How far, long and how fast..." etc. I'm legitimately looking for some mentoring here, and interaction between people who may be or were stuck in the same spot. I know I'm not the only one. Not immediate gratification. Personal assistance, to some degree, but I posted this for all to see knowing full well that new posts about rucking are often met with hostility. There are a lot of other guys out there that might be in the same boat that might be afraid of losing 50 points for SA or being publicly berated by people in a community that they want to be a part of. None of that bothers or discourages me from seeking advice, nor do I have problem with ever sticking my neck out for my fellow warfighter.
I do use the search button, and I use it multiple times before I post anything. I may be a Lt, but I'm not a total retard. Maybe I missed something. Our standard in the MC is a blazing 3 mph. Expect to get canned if you exceed that speed with your men behind you. Finding someone who knows how to move out at close to 5mph without running where I'm at will get you nowhere. I read "Get Selected", and I'm familiar with the Socratic method of questioning/mentoring. The book is what led me to start this thread. “Ask for directions and you’ll get to your destination much quicker” (page 11-1). I understand that this is your house, with your rules. I consider myself to be a professional as well, and understand that I am guest in your home and I don’t live here. I’m not looking for a pat on the back, just advice from one or many professionals to another. If the thread can't help anyone, then please delete it.
--x SF med, no worries. Does this mean I get my 50 SA points back?
