>super high speed ruck sack
what the fuck are you talking about, where do you serve?
here we get the shittiests rucksacks i think ever made, they are so fucking horrible you have no idea, and they arent even used in combat anyway
but for OP, dont try to emulate the heavy rucksack thing, it will fuck you up with regular ones
I was being sarcastic, but I guess it didn't come through. Actually, for a single ruck march, I got to use one of the previous ruck sacks. The newer ones are much better. I think it's just rucking that sucks, not so much the ruck sacks. But my civilian frame backpack is much better, as one would expect.
Get fit enough that the thought of basic sounds kinda fun.
Get fast but don't fuck up your goddamn knees doing it. Don't do weighted runs, that's some Crossfit level stupid and you're just asking for injuries.
5 chin ups, 10 dips, 15 push-ups, 20 setups amrap and run 5km about twice a week. This is given you have a background in lifting so you're not some retard that gets hurt in basic.
Army nurse here. Basic was literally running and push ups and abs. Pretty shitty.
Just do those things. Throw in some chin ups to balance shit out. It's dumb and when you get to your unit it'll probably change. We work weird hours so we don't even PT together. I just lift and run.
not op but i plan on doing field medic work, what "route" did you take if you dont mind me asking? id really like to do rasp and socm but i understand how difficult that can be and would appreciate any advice you might have
>all in one day
all in a few hours
Make sure you shit within the first week of basic, or none of this training will matter.
And if you're not retarded, join the Air Force; lower or standards for the run, only 1.5 mile in under 11 minutes
I don't know what you mean by route. I went to basic at Fort Leonard Wood and then did AIT at Fort Sam Houston. Some other guys had Airborne in their contracts, and one or two from AIT had RASP.
If you want to go medic, then you have to take your ASVAB and go through MEPS. If you want something cool like Airborne or RASP, make sure you score above an 85 on the ASVAB and get mostly 1's on your PULHES score.
If you want something like RASP, walk out of MEPS if they won't put it in your contract. They might tell you that sometimes people get Airborne slots after AIT, that's bullshit. Get it in your contract or it won't be yours. You don't have to sign anything at MEPS the first time. Walk out. If you get a 90+ on the ASVAB, 111111 physical, and are in good shape, as soon as they get that RASP slot it will be yours. 68W is always there.
Then after you get your 68W you'll go to whatever school you got in your contract.
you pretty much answered me perfectly, thanks. and thanks for doing medical work and such. its good.
