No one is gonna care that you have an Army ruck on your back during block leave. Chances are people will just figure you got it at a surplus store. And if anyone does give a shit and gives you shit....that person has way too much time on their hands

Your ruck sack is equipment not uniform, I would not worry about wearing it with civilian attire. Anyone who gets a hair across their ass because you’re doing PT on block leave is not a person worth listening to or worrying about. All that being said, make sure your ruck isn’t jacked up with straps dangling everywhere, it makes you look like a soul sandwich.

Sure wear it. You can buy the US stamped ones on amazon too. If someone says something about it they have too much time on their hands. Load it up and do some rucking to stay in shape while on leave. Enjoy your time off!

There's no regulation stating you can't.

Yes, and you will be soooo gay for doing it.
Also, thank you for your service war fighter!

Get that workout in bud and don’t worry about it, you’re trying to better yourself. Plus seeing as how you’re on leave, I doubt any of your CoC will be around to tell you otherwise

That’s a major no if your still in training, all depends on your drill sergeant.

The ruck sack isn't part of the uniform broski. You can buy one online, so yea, it shouldn't be a problem.
