For the record, I necroposted to this thread regarding lower back pain. The original thread is five years old.
Thanks for the shin advice, though. lol
My original post:
Don't know the exact name for it but it looks exactly like the one in the attached pic.
Just had it packed with rations and clothing along with the valise and thremarest. About 40 lbs Valise just held the sleeping bag and groundsheet.
Resurrecting this one from the dead regarding the lower back soreness:
Went on a ruck march this weekend with my unit. First one on Friday was fine as the rucksack sat straight and felt balanced with the exception of it being tight on the shoulders (no chest strap).
The second march was shit...

Well, you never know with those recruiters. >:D No, I received a phone call and I'm sure they will phone you if you don't answer their emails.
Best of Luck

Although it is very obvious, I will say yes. It is possible to support the troops and the mission. All troops (with the exception of reservists) have no choice but to play an active part in any mission. They deserve 100% respect for what they do to protect us every day, whether we support it or not.
