Phase II did a study for the last few classes on Modified vs Slick rucks,
we found the modified rucks where 4-8 lbs more weight then a issued ruck sack
we also dumped rucks and found the guys that had modified also had the tendency to pack more optional items IE 10 lbs shaving kits.
You will bring both, your cadre team sgt will give you guidence on what you will use for jumps, all rucks will be army issue IAW with the packing list the aircraft have weight restrictions.
FYI all you need for a shaving kit is a broken in half tooth brush and some tooth paste. follow the packing list its going to get hot real soon and you dont want to be carrying anymore then you need.
Adding a item people need also so I dont have to start a new post bring a "" Headlamp"" with you men any type will do.....
