Honestly it depends on what your doing. If it's truck stuff it doesn't really matter as you can just load up your kit to the high heavens. If your going to be doing alot of dismount stuff i'd try to make your kit as streamlined as possible. 99.99% of the time people have like 1.6 bajillion accessorie/grenade/smokegrenade/beef jerky pouches that are worthless and do you really need to have it strapped to your body armor weighing you down?

As far as purchases go garmin wrist gps's are pretty invaluable if your not next to a truck 24/7. Your own set of sights is nice to. I prefer the army EOTECH with my own flip to the side magnifier. And GOOOD magazines for the m9 are necessary. And don't use regular magazines, they nosedive and need to be changed out at least once a month. Buy your own H&K or P-Mags.

Thats a good place to start. Things you actually will use everyday. Dont worry to much about a smoke grenade pouch youll access twice during the deployment.
