Az looks a little tired after walking who knows how long now. Not much tires you out like a 12 mile ruckmarch

I am firmly of the belief that "ruck" and "run" are mutually exclusive. Running with significant weight in a ruck is a surefire plan to fuck up everything up to and including getting out of bed that morning. You can move out, -fast- with a Ruck, without running. It smokes the dog shit out of you and hurts like hell the next day, but you can get there without guaranteeing a disability check after your time is done.
I think leaders who proscribe "Ruck runs" in general oras a manner of stressing the body before doing something like a shoot ("Battle March & Shoot" bullshit.) with 45+ pounds in the ruck are demonstrating basic failures in planning. Nobody's going to the fight with that weight on and even if we were the second we'd haul ass the rucks are getting dropped on the spot.
Better idea: "Geared for the fight"; All battle gear and armor plus an assault pack with extra water and ammo and maybe a 81mm mortar if you want to be goofy. Assault pack shouldn't break 20 pounds.
But hey, that's just me.
Rant rant rave rave.
