Knowing my kid, this is a great feature!
With the prices on the site Free sent me to, if I got the wrong thing I can just go back and get another style. Did I mention I love to shop? ;)
I was on a sweep mission on Hifa St, we were fighting our way through a appartment building and the chem-lights for our squad was in my pack, some where along the way they not only were cracked, but also a few of them broke open and gave me a big glowing target on my back.... I had red chem-light glowing on the bottom of the pack (some of my ass) and green chem glowing all over my pack and arms/dcu top.
Mara there has to be clip art for the picture JAB just described.
Jab... the glowing target of Hifa St, part 1 ... proof hadji can't shoot....

Achmed : "Look! A sign from Allah! His infidel ass is glowing!"
Malik: "The hellish glow from his bunghole is blinding me! I can't see! Allah save us!"

It is eerily reminiscent of that photo of the nearly-naked guy wearing a gas mask striding through a landscape on fire with the title "no matter what, you will never party this hard."
After much consideration and based on the advice here I ordered the Motherlode in coyote.
If he doesn't like it, tell him to buy his own! ;)
Followup question. I see these cleaning packs and tablets for the water container. Does the USMC have those or should I be ordering that too?
I don't remember ever getting issued those things. I just hung my up to dry occasionally and never had any problems...

I just occasionally run a bit of diluted bleach through mine; I've never had a problem. But then again, I never put anything but plain water in it.
Because of how they're designed they seem to be pretty sanitary. Especially if you're running water through it regularly like he would be. It's when the water sits in there for months at a time that you might have a problem.
LOL, I wish I had a picture of it, I am sure someone snapped one somewhere along the way though...
As for the party, lol more like this....
A walking target....here I am....no right here....
Basically he did. I have his credit card.
;)I got awakened at 1 am with a phone call from my son! Great to hear his voice after so long. We discussed my/his purchace of the pack and he said to thank everyone for helping me out and "excellent choice". He cant wait to get it! Thanks again for the help everyone!
Got the Camelbak today as promised. That was incredibly fast Free, and free shipping too! Its everything you guys said it was and more! Ive just finished stowing a bunch of stuff in there including 2 knives, magazines, socks, camelbak cleaning kit and a bunch of snacks and there is still room left. I cant pack anymore stuff because then the box wont shut! The pictures on the website dont do it justice. If my kid didnt really need this Id keep it for me! 
Oh and that place sent me a bunch of coupons in the box too, Free. I will have to go back and do more shopping!
