Large tin of black shoe polish
Black pens, pencils, rubber, ruler and coloured pencils.
Pocket notebook
A cheap dark coloured watch. (Dont take your rolex!)

Small sewing kit containing needle and thread (dark colours) and safety pins.

Try your best to get all the items in the "Other equipment" bit because you will end up paying ALOT more for them in the NAAFI in camp.
Make sure you turn up with a Grade 2 haircut all over.
This kit list is the official one that the army gives para recruits before turning up to depot

You can't just wear your own if the issue ones don't suit you, you wear what you're told too whether it's your issue PT shorts or your C95's.JTP wrote:The Issuded Blue ones may not be comfortable so I would take your own just in case but they will not be tight on you they are loose fit.
As for the question about the electric razor, forget it mate, it's wet shaves all the way.
