Beat me to the punch. I can see a very hard lesson being learned in his near future. Standing by to watch the train wreck.

And what might that lesson be?

The lesson is that training with that much weight is a bad decision. Ask any QP on this forum and they will tell you that. All that will do is cause unnecessary injuries and stress. Use the search button and type in the word RUCK and you will understand. Any QP may correct me if I am out of line for saying this but what you are doing is quite stupid. But by all means, don't take the advice from guys who have been doing this longer than you and I have been alive.

Thanks for the input. I'll definitely look into it and consider reevaluating my training program regarding ruck marches.

P.S. I don't really like your tone, check yourself 33army.

No offense meant by my post MG*, I just state things bluntly. Hopefully when you finish college and receive your commission as a 2LT in the Army you remember that the people with the experience are usually the NCOs.

No offense taken. I've actually chosen enlistment over the officer route so that I can get that valuable NCO experience. Best of luck to you at selection. I hope you have a good one too Robert Jordan.

Really?

33army gave you some solid advice that will likely improve your chances of achieving your goals. If you read all the rucking advice on this forum and in "Get Selected" you'd soon realize how outrageous your training program is. If you can do it, more power to you, but is it worth the risk? Maybe now you can start training yourself to have a thicker skin.

Maybe you will like mine better.

The point he reiterated has been made in numerous threads on preparing for SFAS here. Along with a lot of other helpful tips, like following the prescribed PT prep program. More is not necessarily better. Searching and reading is fundamental, and doesn't cost anything.

Just like riding a bike will not condition your feet, which is a big part of the reason for running and rucking.

I do have a job as a personal trainer, so you're pretty much spot on.

Thanks for the advice TR, I'll shut up now and do some more research.
