here is how I generally roll:
Magazines X6 (sometimes less)
Radio (not necessarily on your chest, but if you carry one, you need to be able to change channels/trouble shoot it)
Night Vision in soft pouch
Sheath Knife
Grenade x1 (at least)
Tourniquet handy with med pouch available somewhere
GPS
Also, I always keep a little accessory pouch right at the top of my chest that has a compass, a shrunk-down and laminated card with 9-line medevac, radio frequencies/callsigns for units in the area, Iridium numbers, and team battle rosters.
Because I usually don't bother to carry a pistol I also have a small fold-up drop bag on the side of my armor.
I usually have a couple extra single magazine pouches on my kit for those times when 6 mags just won't be enough, chemlights for assaults, whatever.
If I am carrying my pistol I may add a 9 millimeter magazine pouch or two but usually I don't bother....I just end up throwing an extra mag in my butpouch attached to my belt.
