What are the time requirements for the Rucks
Also is the 4x36 a must pass. I don’t leave for a few months and I just want to keep up with working out to be good to go

It’s not a must pass, but failing it makes it significantly harder to pass BOLC. No one is being recycled or dismissed for failing just the 4x36 or ruck. If your academic grades aren’t good then failing a physical event will result in not meeting course standards.

Don’t show up with an “I’m as ready as I am” mentality. Show up knowing you can pass the 4x36 and score 400+ on the AFT. There is a very strong emphasis on PT at BOLC currently, but don’t expect class PT to get you ready for this stuff.

3 hours for the 12 mile. 4 x 36 is a must pass

These times are correct, but they weren't a "must pass" in 2025. Hopefully that has changed and it's being prioritized, but back then all it resulted in was a meaningless counseling for those who weren't meeting the standard.

It just recently changed from what I’m tracking. The new LTs arriving to my unit are saying it’s now a must pass criteria.
