GO RUCK!: Veteran owned/operated. Post your progress and AARs

I havent trained and I am going on the Mogadishu Mile tonight in DC. Dont have good shoes, havent packed, I worked 15 hours yesterday and I have been up since 0500. Looks like its going to rain too. It should be a good time.

Sounds like perfect conditions for victory....:thumbsup:

Kick ass and lead from the front!
 
Congratulations! DC would be an awesome place to do a GRC. So much history.
Because it was the Mogadishu Mile we went over some knowledge about Operation Gothic Serpent and talked about the Rangers and Delta members that were lost. Probably wont do it again but it was nice to complete.
 
Why wouldn't you do it again?
I wouldnt do it again because its just a bunch of whiney bitches looking for a patch. I ended up having to carry a bunch of packs towards the end and none of them were anything close to the required weight. I could barely carry mine on my back with the 6 bricks and I had two others in my arms no prob. Maybe Im just being old and grumpy.

They didn't inspect prior to movement?
 
The only thing they did was take out all of the food.

That's different. When I did it a few years back, we were allowed to take as much food/hydration/pogey bait shit as we wanted... sometimes to the detriment of the participant (there were some folks who had packed out far more food than they consumed).

There was, however, as simply (yet thorough) initial inspection of the packs for a few simple things:
a) Do you have six bricks?
b) Are all electronics turned off and put away? (e.g., watches and cell phones could be packed away, but not used during the event. No GPS units at all)
c) No other prohibited items (I don't recall the list, but it was pretty self-explanatory).

Some people had some metal plates, some had sandbags some had dirty clothes. Maybe they dumped them along the way but we put all of the pogey bait into a kit bag and split it up along the way. The cadre ended up with a PB&J as well as some other home made stuff.

What pack did you use?
