RANT - What's the deal with troops at the mall with the small packs on?

[Pte.Butt]

The small pack is indeed authorized for use as a daypack. (It looks DORKY though -- and is sooooooo uncool!!)

Run a search ... there are some threads on this site, and, I believe, I've copied in the ref authorizing it's use as such previously.

That being said, as a candidate on a BMQ I would suggest that you refrain from using the small pack outside of military functions. Some instructors might not know of the point that Vern is pointing out.

What to do about ....

not much one can do when the good books say they can ... no matter how DORKY it looks. 
Except, of course, emphasize just how DORKY it looks.
