does anyone know the actual weight in the ruck sacks during the crucible?

It is very hard but your are trained for this. You are built up to handle it. It kind of prepares you for war cause thats part of what you will deal with.

I can handle small amounts of food and maybe 20 miles each day, but small amounts of sleep? Ouch.
Are the bullets always rubber? I hear their mixed between blanks, rubber, and real.

Please tell us how boot camp and the crucible in particular was harder when you went through it just eight years ago. Thanks and where was it 30 degrees at?

kind of, you get yelled at the most during forming which is like day 3 after you`ve done your medical stuff. Towards the end they do not yell at you as often, they use physical punishment and grueling exercises to correct "bad behavior". You still do get yelled at tho.

And you are some how harder because the weather worked against you? Not if you just stopped at saying that the Crucible was harder in 2000, that is fine, but the weather in uncontrollable.

I went through training in 1969 and I never worried about physical challenges after that. They teach you that you can do more than you ever imagined.
Marine Corps training is extremely demanding because Marines typically face the toughest assignments in combat. These dedicated men (and women) have earned my respect and I hope their rigorous training keeps them safe when the shit hits the fan. I thank them for their service and sacrifice.

I have a very close friend who will be enduring his "Crucible" experience next week. These men and women are amazing and we should all be proud of their dedication and willingness to sacrifice all for the rest of us!
