I used a modified ALICE for many years, I carried it on a modified jungle ruck frame. Good gear if the only thing you can use has to be issue. Or at least, have originally been issued.
Civilian rucks generally do not have the external pockets needed for military use. You have to be able to get to food, ammo, batteries, rain gear, Claymores, IVs, antennas, etc. quickly at all times. Your average backpacker does not have that need.
Just got a set of the long side pockets for my Kifaru Navigator.
Great accessory, makes for easy access to frequently needed items like rain gear, food, etc.
The Kifaru packs are bulletproof, superbly designed and constructed, carry almost like they are part of you.
No, you may not use them at SFAS or in the SFQC.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." - President Theodore Roosevelt, 1910
