So I'm a CIC officer - Army. My goal is to be able to do the BFT (because everyone else has to do it, and it will also set a good example for the cadets). I've been training so far, however I don't have a ruck. My problem is that I'm somewhat shorter, in the past I have used the 82 pattern ruck which with full valise and "stuff" it becomes uncomfortable in the sense that it hits be on the upper leg area and makes it harder to walk (the back 'pad' is below/on my butt"). I've been told that isn't supposed to happen, but does beacuse I'm short. So anways....
1) Is there any way to somehow fix this problem? I was thinking of taking a ruck and getting one of my friends to shorten the frame (take a chunk otu and weld it back together, if thats possible)
2) I've never used the 64 pattern, would this be better?
3) Is there another ruck that anyone suggests? (Obviously, my BFT isn't official since there's no means for CIC officers to do it)
4) does ayone know of a supplier who makes the 82 pattern bags in cadpat?
Of course, a ruck iosn't on my scale of issue, so I'd be buying surplus stuff.
Any thouhts would be most appreciated
Cheers,
OCdt Wilson
