You are probably as young and fit as you are ever going to be.
By the time you are 35, you will not be able to ruck with any real sort of weight.
Speaking as an old guy, I cherish my experiences, but wish I had taken a little better care of my body when I was younger, and at least skipped the stupid / abusive stuff. There is the "weakness leaving your body" hurt, and there is the "you are breaking something important" pain. Sometimes, you learn the difference too late. Don't wear yourself out too soon, you will have the rest of your life to live with the consequences of your choices.
Rolling an ankle and breaking down in the Hindu Kush in the middle of a firefight is not going to do your teammates, or your situation much good.
Best of luck.
