I would agree with most points beanz2 made. However, knee pads are optional. I decided not to use them because I took the class in June or July and it was just too hot to wear the damn things.

I guess it depends on your level of fitness and knee strength. You only shoot on astro turf type stuff, so if you can gently kneel, you are good to go. If you are heavy or not athletic and will be crashing down on your knees when kneeling, definitely use them.

A camel back or similar hydration unit is nice. I almost forgot! Gloves, you need gloves for the class. Manipulating a rifle for four days straight chews the hell out of your hands, trust me on this one. I prefer fingerless gloves, makes it easier to grab mags.

Oh, and you will need a few pieces of gear to hold full mags and empties. When I did the class, if you had taken the pistol class you could also have a sidearm. I don't know if that policy has changed.
