>>76297171It was a short (for an infantry company ruck) ruck march. I had done 4 times the distance before. I had just never been to Knox, and didn't factor in the hilly geography. My longer rucks were also before I had become a full bore alco and was in much much better shape. They were also in the 70s not high 90s. I was trying to show off as the new guy in the unit by carrying the 240.
All of this culminating in me being an absolute retard 20 year old and thinking I'm so hot, we are halfway through, I just drank a quart not too long ago, I am invincible.
It was stupid. I'm 34 now and in the best shape of my life but I still look back on that as the time it almost wasn't okay.
