Actually, I think you do get it.

The Army is possessed by this illusion that 'rucking' is some mythical enterprise requiring a great deal of practice and preparation. It's just #$%ing walking, for a while, with some weight on your back.

Continue your approach - which will make sure your body is strong and will hold together for three weeks of mild abuse. Additionally, you will peer high during team week when you can carry heavy things and your teammates who ran the ruck march are buckling.
