You will have to dig deep... the first few times will be real uncomfortable and will literally wear some seriously nice blisters into places they've never been before.......you will get used to this, and the body will adapt and either not give you blisters after a while or give them to you anyways........the by-product either way is character!!!!!!!
Dig deep, LT.

LW - something about those Rangers...they can ruck fast...luckily, as a 2LT, our pre-Ranger instructor (at FAOBC) was a FIST in one of the Ranger Battalions. He was shorter than me, but showed us the way to ruck...and then wore us out.
LT - When your SHINS feel like they're going to explode, you're getting there. Make sure to do a good stretch BEFORE and AFTER to help prevent or minimize the pain of shin slints.
