The consensus from this thread and others seem to point out that the MOLLE sucks for one reason or another. Having said that, for those who have humped 70lbs+ on both ALICE and MOLLE, would rucking skills with MOLLE transfer to one with ALICE?

Point noted. I won't get any rucks issued and as the civvie Kelty pack is starting to disintegrate, I'm looking for a military-issue ruck. I get a good deal for $40 on a slightly-used MOLLE ruck and frame, whereas I'd spend $70 and up for an ALICE. As much as possible, I'd like to save $$$ for extra boots.
