I've tried to refrain from starting a new thread (posting in general, really) but it's starting to make me question what I thought I knew/remembered.
Again, I apologize in advance if this has been asked, but I was not able to find an answer here or on The Google. My thought is that since this site was created in 2004, there probably weren't very many discussion on SFAS prior to then.
On a side note, this is the longest I've ever stared at the "Submit New Thread" button.
Ask or Cast.
Thanks,

I went during that time I believe the most I carried was 45 without water and during the STAR it was roughly 85-90 together with the radios MRE's etc....
I did see a recommended train up hand out that had a 5x100lb ruck squats program on it I used, I do not remember ever seeing anything recommending 100lb ruck marches I believe the train up weight most recommended was 55-65lbs.
