Brother, the ruck you'll get at CIF is going to be a beat up issue ruck with thread bare straps and a cracked frame you'll have to DX later. Well, it might not be that bad, but it was for many of my friends. Just go to your friendly neighborhood surplus store and get a large size ALICE ruck with a frame. The quality will be about the same, the cost will be lower than a hi-speed internet ruck and you'll be training with what you're going to get issued. And get used to it. The CIF is the same for the SFQC as it is for SFAS. Cool guy gear comes later (post long tab), or so I'm told. Drive on. Books
