I'd say add more tools to the list. Still joining the service? Have a career in mind? Books!

If I were you, I'd put the camera on the list along with the brand and model number. A decent camera is liable to cost more than all the other things combined. If you shop around the jack and stands can be bought as a kit relatively inexpensively. Ask for it all, see what happens.
