I think you are all talking bollocks. I am sure I have never done a CFT with over 50lb of kit !
Do you not mean 25lb guys ?
Oh yes, if you need build up training to do what is essentially a fast(ish) walk for a couple of hours then you need to get a ******* grip of your personal fitness. BFT (or whatever they call it these days), CFT and APWT should need only as much notice as is required to present yourself in the correct order of dress for the activity.
I served at a unit that delighted in morning parades ending in "Right, double away, grab your kit...CFT in 1 hour".
