CANLANDGEN 011, 13KM RUCK MARCH TRUMPS THE EXPRESS TEST FOR LAND FORCES

[Haggis]

Yes.  Most strive for 2 hr. 10 min.  I believe the required time limit is 2 hr 20 min.

2 hours, 26 minutes, 20 seconds.  (Army Fitness Manual, Page 3)

They are training with ruck sack march every wensday evening... is it un official training or does it count? it does not matter they are doing it.

That's the CO's call.  Good on them, though!

Intr's on the implementation for Cl A is set to be out this coming Monday.  I haven't had a chance to look at the new form but, if it is good to go, appears the bases are covered. 

Only problem left is...to implement it.  Seems to only really be an issue for the Reserve CO's, the Class A factors.

*editted for VD.

Enough of the speculation and childish, smug hand wringing. Let's see what comes out for direction. Then get on with it. The gates been closed. We don't want the same to happen to the thread. Keep it to official info only.

With e-tool, or standard spade, say from a truck pioneer kit?

Army Fitness Manual (pg 3) Using a standard shovel (we use a round nose) move .486 cubic metres of pea gravel (1 cm in diametre) from one trench box to another.  Helmet ONLY is worn for this task. 

Timing for Trench dig in less than six minutes using whatever "method" is best for you.

Hmmm, we've always had to wear our helmets and TVs for this.

Forgive me if I sound like an FNG, but when they mention weightload is it the standard 50 lbs that one does on the IAP or BMQ 13 k? Or is it different?

Weightload March is 13 km in full fighting order with fieldpack (rucksack).  Weight is 24.5 kg TOTAL kit (helmet, webbing (Tac Vest), Weapon and Rucksack). 

by all means - correct me if I am wrong (math not being one of my strong points) 1kg = 2.2lbs therefore complete kit is expected to weigh 53.9lbs

The rifle, helmet & webbing were out of my control

That sounds familiar......

"b-b-but Sergeant Major - I have a C6!"

"...and I have an ulcer and an ex wife - NEXT!"  ;D

 

[geo]

C6... It builds character

 

[dapaterson]

C6... It builds character

... and gets rid of unsavoury characters...

Gents,

One more time. Let's try keep this thread to official releases and pertinent answers to technical questions regarding the same. There's no need to clutter it up with personal bias/ comments/ snickers/ whatever. Further comment that does nothing to add to the thread will be deleted. Failure to heed THAT warning may be dealt with in a more stringent manner

 

[PAT-Platoon]

I'm currently starting BMQ on the weekends right now in the Reserves. When will I be required to do this test? At the end of BMQ, SQ or BIQ? If its at the end of BMQ (which I believe is about 20 days so we should be done in March or so, no?) will it be the 13km rucksack march plus the other tasks or simply the rucksack march (i.e. what do they mean it will be "implemented" on april 1st, do they mean after april 1st all tests will require it?)

 

[armyvern]

For you, it starts on Apr 1st. No worries. They'll find you when it's time to get 'er done!!  ;D

 

[geo]

While you are undergoing training, BQ, SQ & DP1 Trade training, they will integrate the 13Km ruckmarch - so you should be good to go for your 1st year.  They'll let you know what the standards are for the next go round.

Curious, do they not do the Fireman's Carry anymore during recruit training??
