I was wondering because I've been jogging with my school backpack(28lbs) in preparation but I'm not sure if it's enough. P.S. I'm 15

      You could ask your recruiter (if one comes to your school), but if my memory serves, it's generally fifty pounds and up to seventy-five.

        They also will use a different type of backpack than what you probably use at school, very very similar to those campers use, they have a hard frame (internally so you can't see it), and a hipstrap, which changes things alot, search ILBE in google.  You can try that, or a weight vest, if you can't get those, see if you can at least find a school backpack with a hipstrap.
