[hider=Standard Gear for all characters]
Standard issue items for everyone enlisted in Shattered Steel include:

[list]
[*] Several sets of working uniforms; this consists of a utilitarian military-style dark blue shirt with various pockets and velcro patches for insignia, name and rank tabs etc (worn optionally), pants in the same colour and style, and boots. Undershirts are not specified/regulation, but common sense applies. Baseball caps are optional, as are various other headgear (military-style berets, or wool 'watch caps' for colder temperatures)
[*] A set of dress uniform; much like the US Navies' in style, cut, etc; white in colour
[*] Cold Climate parka-style jackets, with gloves (when needed)
[*] Flight suits (duh) and appropriate G-suit and survival vest, helmet, boots and gloves
[*] An electronic military-hardened computer tablet or 'electronic flight book' that has all the relevant information and such for planning and communication regarding operations, as well as email connectivity and functionality. 
[*] Normal survival gear as expected for any combat aviator (in their survival vest and the kit in their ejector seat)
[*] Sufficient ammunition for their sidearm (i.e. 2-4 spare magazines/speedloaders), and a full battle-load for their longarm when issued, as well as holsters, load-bearing/armour vests, etc if expected to fight on the ground.
[/list]

All of these items are provided by Shattered Steel, and aren't needed to be bought by contractors themselves - although of course, they are free to buy 'better' ones if they wish. 
If they lose or sell them, well; that requires a written form to get a new one, with an explanation why, and possible repercussions (beyond the obvious ones of not having the equipment you need to do your job). 
Additional weapons and gear may be requested for specific circumstances or missions as required - as long as it can be justified.
