No big deal. The rucks I have seen and handled that belonged to them seemed to have been filled with balloons and air mattresses. They moved out at a pretty leisurely pace as well, kind of like my kids would do sightseeing while leaving Grandma's house after a large Thanksgiving dinner...

When I was in Germany, my section had the chance to do a 20KM ruckmarch with the German AF. We got loaner medium ALICE from the nearby Army post and loaded them up. I think we had 40LBs in them (remember, I'm a wingnut).
Anyway, we were out doing our thing and the GAF guys were flying by us. We stopped one and checked his ruck: A canteen and sweatrag.
