Make sure you are not chugging plain water. If you drink too much, you will experience hypernatremia and could die. We have lost candidates in SFAS and the SFQC from this.
Use ORS, Kool-Aid, Gatorade, salt and sugar, or whatever you can find to keep your electrolyte balance within tolerances, especially when sweating profusely.
Train yourself to drink small quantities of liquids constantly while rucking and moving.
As was already stated, work on ruck and run times, especially on gravel and in sand. Most of Bragg is in the Sandhills, and some areas, especially on the roads, are like trying to walk on the soft beach sand.
Good feedback, thanks.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." - President Theodore Roosevelt, 1910
