What distances and weights can I expect to be rucking at IBOLC? I won't have access to a ruck leading up to reporting so I'm just trying to gauge the level of difficulty.
You will do a 4, 6, multiple 8, a 10, 12, and 16 mile ruck. Ruck weight is 45-55lbs for these minus the 16, which is under full kit and NODs. You’ll also have FLC and a rubber duck. The 4 and 6 were cadre led formation rucks with a 13-14:30 pace and you weren’t allowed to run. I thought these were the easiest as long as you could stride it out. All the other rucks are release except the 16, which is just for completion as a platoon aka it will be slow and it will be miserable. The rucks for patrolling at IBOLC are consistently 65-80 lbs.
