Everyone who has ever been in the Army or Marine Corps knows what a “ruck” is, and those aren’t the definition.

n. short for rucksack - a big a$$ heavy backpack that holds a ton of gear.

v. short for road march conducted while carrying a rucksack - a long a$$ road march while carrying a fully loaded big a$$ ruck on your back going over miles and miles of hills.

Sentence: Which *%@(#^&% genius thought it was a good idea to make us ruck in the freezing rain with our rucks filled with 80 lbs. of gear and ammo, but leaving our snivel gear in the barracks.
