Rucking with a weapon.
Jayson here and I have started a PT program that the army setup for me. One of the activities it has me do on certain days is ruck with my FFO (uniform, boots, ruck, helmet, tac-vest & weapon). Now I do not live close to a base so any rucking I will do would be in my neighborhood. I have been told that rucking in FFO in public is not a good idea unless I want a business visit from the police. So my plan is to wear civis, my boots and ruck (I will add extra weight to my ruck to compensate for the helmet and tac vest). The weapon part is what I am uncertain about. Obviously I will not be carrying one, but should it be simulated? I can put together some sort of white PVC tubing and weigh it down with sand to simulate the weapon I would be carrying. Would this be either necessary or a good idea? From previous posts on this forum I have learned it is important to train the way you would fight. During basic, I had to carry a C6 (a SAW) and in my mind, I struggled to properly handle it (shooting was fine, just moving it was a challenge for me. Holding the damn thing out with arms stretched out when one of my section buddies screwed up was also difficult). Would rucking with the PVC tubing help? Please respond. Thanks.
