Patrolling is not a ruck march it is much slower and deliberate so rucking for fitness should not be confused with a patrol. Good Luck
WD, I was a medic for a long time and I wish everyone shared your insight on this. Can't tell you how many folks have pointlessly damaged themselves for little gain. Great advice!!
