Rucking - New York Area

[mynewunit]

Hey everybody.  How about we do the unthinkable?  There is a group called Go Ruck.  They plan Rucking events that are organized and run by special forces members for a fitness, team building, event.  There are a few in what passes for upstate New York.  They are both in June of this year. West Point (Army military Academy) 6/17-18 and Albany 6/24-25.  
I have made an invite or 2 to individuals that I have found to be local.  I think we could probably get a 4 some to be a part of this.  For added motivation, I will pay for the first 3 to join me, read as reimburse.  I am personally, probably not fit enough to do the 12 hour one today.  I am intrigued by the 9PM to 9AM part.  Let me know who would be interested/available for on of these.  More event info at the link below.

This would definitely qualify as getting after it.  Let me know any obstacles that are preventing you from being a part of this.  Norris feel free to say Plane tickets. That I am not fixing.  Needing a ride or some gear is more reasonable. Some physical activity, external stress, and maybe a make us all better in the process.
All of you not in the North East, grow your own initiative.

That sounds like fun but you are correct that it's an issue for me. (Around the same time I have to go to Idaho to see my daughter at college) But, I can train like the rest of you. Give me weights and distances. I'll put in the work. I've even got my old skewl ALICE pack.



*edit:
I just read their suggested 6 week work out. I am not up to all of this but I now have a goal.

Let me know what you need to make it there.

Okay. I will be out next weekend. I assume no one took me up on my offer to pay. Off to make more Troopers. Following some Marine that goes by "Rage". Sounds like a relaxing stroll through the Hudson Valley.

So I extended the invite you guys missed a lot of fun.  Climbed most of Breakneck mountain.  Spent about 40 minutes in the water fully dressed.  Carried logs, water, and the Flag.  Met a handful or Marines.

I recommend you guys give a Ruck a shot.  Thank you Cadre Rage.  Red hat on the left of the picture.

Bad Ass! I would agree that we missed the fun. Way to "get after it"!

Go Ruck Selection
If you want to know how you would do in a BUDS or Ranger Selection situation. GORUCK will give you a taste.  They call it Selection. It happens every September. Last year was Selection 18. They started with 37 and only 1 finished.  A bunch of great videos and pics of eliminating participants.  I think I am a few years away from giving it a shot.
