You mean the one that says: "The new ruck is the best piece of kit ever issued :
.
Mine is doing quite well collecting dust (and quite a bit I mite add) under my bed ;D. The only good part of that system is the compression bag (it happens to be the only issued thing, except PPE/combats,and C7A2/EIS I really use alot), and the 2 extra pouches.

They sure are my friend. I'm experienced!! I've attended their working groups!! CTS working groups; Army Clothing working groups; by far - the worst of them all have been ADM/MAT WGs [well, DMMD WGs were always fun too] ... (sometimes, I've wanted to remuster to postal after those ones!! >
)I love "projects" ... some of them have far outlasted their expiry dates ... and the fact that they just get continued and continued again only screws us up down here at the bottom level so that we are prevented from supporting you troops (yep, prevented): witness the fact that my Clothing Stores can not even have a sizing jig to size you for that rucksack as CTS continues (WHY!!?? NDHQ "Job-protection" ??) to control it at their level.
So, you're posted in here this summer and entitled to and require a new CTS ruck? "Sorry, we can't help you out; you'll have to wait until the CTS cell makes its next visit here (estimated to be Spring 2010 -at the earliest :
) with the sizing jig and the powerpoint because I'm too incompetant to press "play" ..."

20 July ... WhoooHooo!! (If we can count SLT as an actual "posting" - but they are giving me shacks (P198 - whew) in Borden for 30 days until I can find a place to live for myself .... [no entitlement to an HHT when you are 'posted' to a french course]; you've just got to love those courses "less than a year long" - especially when being sent 1/2 way accross the country to do them.

I'm sure that your name is on the "confirmed" list as having attended the sizing/trg in Nfld. Your issue is that you are never where your damn ruck compontents are!! PM inbound with the new Sgt's name for CSG here ... she can issue to you because you actually attended the trg.
I would love to collect your frequent flier miles. ;D

Excellent.. another tool the infantry can use for CQB: an empty CTS ruck. Why not? It's heavier than the C7.

It's all really moot to me (until I'm told otherwise :) I don't want the new one. I have a CADPAT 64 setup with a huge valise (three external pockets) and a huge main pack (with five external pockets).
I also have a truck, complete with driver.
I say, give them only to those that actually are required to carry their house on their back, like a turtle.

Good for what? Put inner/outer/hood/liner in it and have fun keeping it closed (it will, just) or getting it in or out of the bag. Outdoor Research makes several waterproof compression bags of better design that would have undoubtedly cost less even at full overpriced retail.

I used it for 7 months on my tank in Asscrackistan and it was quite overstuffed and exposed to the elements on a very regular basis.
Never had a problem. Nor did anyone in my crew.
Come to think of it...never heard one complaint about them in the whole squadron.
