Tierney,
Thanks for your question
I wouldn’t buy anything military whatsoever as you won’t be allowed to use it. You will be sent a kit list prior to starting basic training, usually around 3-4 weeks prior.
You will get issued everything you need and more. Once time has passed in training your platoon staff may allow or recommend small bits of kit to aid through training which you will have time to go to the local surplus store to buy if you wish.
What are you joining if you don’t mind me asking?
Well done!
