Watch must be black and if you get to wear it depends on RDC's. Some RDC's allow them for all recruits, most only allow those in a leadership role (RPOC, AROC, MAA, Yeoman, ETC) to have them, and in those cases they are REQUIRED to have them. As for a shoe shine kit, you won't get to keep it so don't bring it. Shoe Shine kit is part of your initial issue on night of arrival, and you all have the same kit. They are picky about that. If you go to buy more shoe shine at the NEX later on, you can only buy the brand and type that came with your initial issue kit. If you buy something different (like say, parade gloss instead of regular polish) and your RDCs find it, that's contraband and you will be in trouble.
