Totally.
I didn't want to be in the Memorial Day formation but one of our guys just got shot in the head while standing watch. It was hot and we had to stand for two hours while wearing those "damn top coats...made of wool".
Your situation seems way worse though. Sorry about that.

When I was a boy, I had to march not 2 miles, not 5 miles, but 15 miles. While carrying a backpack full of equipment that weighed more than I did.
And I had to build a shelter out of whatever I could find in the forest, and spend a night in it, mosquitoes and snakes come what may it was called survival training.
I still don't know why, but I did it, and I had a great time of it.
Parades? Come on, you've hardly lived. You'll be escorted by crowds of local fans, there will be fire trucks and ambulances within 2 minutes in either direction, and if anything bad happens it'll be on the internet before it even finishes.

You're going to have a hard time in the army if you think marching 2 miles in mild heat is terrible.

The wool shouldn't be a problem, it regulates temperature, not just simply keeps warm. Be happy it isn't polyester.
Also 2 miles is barely even a walk out.
I think you'll manage
