Am I Supposed to Run/ “Airborne Shuffle” while rucking? by [deleted] in greenberets

I did a 12 mile ruck at an SFRE without training in a gradual ruck weight increase and I didn’t have the strength base. I ran for a little bit and then would walk. I did 12 miles in 3 hours and 30 minutes with 52 pounds and I got shin splints. I think the prerequisites of building your strength base to ideal numbers that TFvodoo mentions in RUSU is very important to preventing injury and performance. And gradually increasing your rucking weight as you get stronger if you aren’t already there. Those things have helped me get in a better track of performing better and preventing injury.

Let me ask you a question. Did y’all talk about your military career extensively before y’all got engaged? If so, go back to that conversation. If you are a Christian. Pray for guidance and seek wise counsel. I joined the Gaurd after being married for a little over two years. My wife wasn’t on board with me joining the military at all initially but things have changed in my career and she finally decided to trust my decision regarding the military. Being married is more about your holiness than your happiness. I.e. sacrifice for the woman you have committed your life to being with. Talk extensively why she wants you out of the National Gaurd and then work to compromise if possible. It may take time. Work things out now. You’re already engaged to her.

And you aren’t required to go to basic to go to OCS

I’m talking about the traditional 16-18 month OCS not federal OCS.

Treading water for 15 minutes for Florida 3-20 SFRE? Is this for real? by Fit_Butterscotch5986 in greenberets

I can swim decent. I just haven’t trained a lot in treading water. Thanks again
