What I've learned, keep your weapon hand on your weapon!
Have all your mags/anything you need to access in battle accessible to your offhand.
So if you're right handed, have all you're rifle mags, pistol mags, PTT button, lighter (if you use pyro nades) and shells accessible by your left arm. Everything else, frags, shemagh, canteen, entrenching tool, multi-tool, sidearm, secondary, russian throwing shovel, and post combat cupcakes can all be stored on your right side.
If you go prone a lot or if you're a sniper, take a tip from the CF and have breast mounted mag pouches. They're REALLY handy when you're prone.
Don't use open cell foam as fake armor, not only does it load up with water but it grows mold too.
OTV's are called "oven tactical vests" for a reason
A plate carrier and shemagh will help keep you warm in heavy rains. Webbing, cloth vests and chest rigs will not.
