Kavak posted:What makes boots wear backpacks? In all my time at college I have never once felt the urge to wear my backpack unless I was taking my laptop and books to class. I thought I saw a group of boots without a designated backpack wearer. I almost pointed out the anomaly to my wife, then the backpack holder came around the corner. Business as usual.

Once they had their food, they would march out. Wow. And I thought our ROTC was retarded. We never did anything like that bullshit.

My old ,crusty, platoon sergeant went on to be a master sergeant yelling at ROTC kids for a while. I wish I could have seen it.

Backpacks are really just extremely convienient and I started wearing mine because I found messenger bags to be too awkward and hipster-looking.

Screw hipsters, I've had my Timbuk2 messenger bag for 10 years. Indestructible and it doesn't scream "I'm a tool" like wearing an assault pack usually does.

I carry a notebook, a folder, and some pens and pencils. I'm in 400 level computer science classes. I just do all my work at home. gently caress carrying around a laptop or a backpack. If we ever need to do calculations we just show how the problem is solved. No need for exact solutions.

I have a backpack with me a lot, but that's mainly because my Mystery Ranch pack isn't ARMY!!! colored and kicks rear end.

I carry a backpack because it's convenient for carrying books and laptops except it is a very nondescript Targus bag I got at best buy and not some sort of huah gaydar. There are nothing wrong with civilian backpacks in school, it's pretty much expected and accepted. I have a bit of time between classes so it's nice to have my laptop so I can do online homework and whatnot, and having textbooks is convenient for this too. I did see one person use a no-poo poo assault pack as a bookbag once. Why anyone would willingly use those pieces of poo poo other than to try and look like a hardass (retard) is beyond me. Another hipster dork in the class ahead of mine has some sort of gigantic leather wood-framed Swiss ski trooper rucksack

It's me, I'm the dirty boot. On the rare occasion that I need to carry some poo poo, the only thing I've got is my oakley kitchen sink backpack. In my defense, the only time I need a backpack is when I got a ton of snacks for staff duty (in which case I don't give a gently caress what some dumb fuckin' soldiers think) or going to the shooting range. It's actually for real good for that, as for some reason it has mag pouches built into the front pocket, and it's just got heaps of space for gats and ammo and other rangey poo poo. It only cost me 60 bucks odd on special from oakley si, so whatever.

I said did. I upgraded to a messenger bag when I started taking my laptop. I still love that loving backpack. And I think most people thought it was a hipster thing. The only people who carried that type of bag seemed to be hipsters at my old liberal arts college.

If you're going to be a dork and carry a military backpack around school you might as well go for the gold and attach one of these.
