The
2017 Air Commando Ruckers made their way through Franklin County on
Wednesday.
This
is the sixth year 16 air commandos from Hurlburt field in Pensacola
are rucking the 450 miles between Hurlburt Field and MacDill Air
Force Base in Tampa.
Rucking
means they do the full hike with heavy packs – all of the
participants are volunteers.
This
event is a relay with teams of 4 rotating every three hours.
They
began their trek in Tampa on April 17th and plan to arrive at
Hurlburt Field in Penacola on April 14th.
Any
money the group receives in donations goes to the Air Commando
Association which gives support
and financial assistance to wounded Air Force Special Operators, as
well as to their families for travel, lodging, medical rehabilitation
and treatments.
You
can find out about supporting the cause or just follow the action
on-line at the Air Commando Ruckers facebook page.
