No big deal. The rucks I have seen and handled that belonged to them seemed to have been filled with balloons and air mattresses. They moved out at a pretty leisurely pace as well, kind of like my kids would do sightseeing while leaving Grandma's house after a large Thanksgiving dinner.
Do you have a weight requirement or a time limit?TR

Roger that, Sir! Sometimes truth is funnier than fiction. The unit I am with now has four hours to complete the 20K. The weight standard used to be fifteen pounds and was just recently upped to thirty-five. You should hear the bellyachin' since they put that out. Profiles have mysteriously tripled in the last week. Must be some kind of epidemic. 
Edited to add: It was kind of funny until I thought about how many we have who fail to complete this event in the time we have. And not just the females. And how hard they complain about having to do this once a year. I need to get out of here.
