I realize it would depend on the job, but I am guessing that there is one backpack that you used the most. Which size one did you use the most? My son starts 18D training in March. Thanks for any information you can send my way.
two suggestions/thoughts

1)what he uses in the course will probably not be what he selects when he gets to a team.

2)18D have multiple requirements for deployment med gear. He may end up with several based on mission.

As suggested, his input is paramount, but at this point may not be viable.

I would suggest he continue to use what he used for selection, until he feels he needs have altered.. Also during the course he will get real input from classmates and instructors.

Good Luck..
