Re: anyone know how to adjust USMC ILBE?
Try this:

The pack was designed by Arcteryx off of theor BORA line. Link to Arcteryx sizing instructions:

These are great packs. Unfortunately for the Marines, they were designed without considering body armor. The biggerst complaint about the ILBE from the field seems to be that the pack does not play well with body armor.

They are supposed to ride on your hips, you will last a lot longer carrying a heavy load that way. There should be very little weight on your shoulders.

Yeah you should want all the weight on your hips and as little as possible on your back, there should be ways to adjust the straps up at the top of the pack where they connect into the actual pack itself. If you still have the hip belt off, may I ask why? is it just uncomfortable for you? it can help pull almost all of the weight of the pack for long treks
