That's it right there. Good old Alice Pack and get it modified at Gen Jackson's. Increase the top flap size and replace velcro with zipper. Replace the 3 mag holder with a large claymore pouch and the other two pouches for the top 2 corners. Fastex clips to replace the old snap buttons. Nothing has beat that setup for me. I just got issued the new Mystery Ranch pack the other day at my unit but there is something about having humped the Alice for the last 10 years in Ranger, SUT, Sage, etc... where you just know where everything is at and can get to it in complete darkness. I'm going to hump it tomorrow night instead of the new assault pack I was issued.
and for what it's worth. Just buy your own and modify it. It's totally worth it and you can do whatever you want to it and leave the CIF issue one in with the rest of the crap you gotta clean and turn in.
