PFC Perkins this website should help you out on what you need for your packet. Not sure if you already looked here but it's the same air assault school I went to in 2007 at Ft Campbell, KY. You can also contact them if you have questions too

It will show you what to bring and what is needed prior to attending the school. Remember to submit your completed packet at least 30 days or more to the course to get the next class available.

Have you asked your team leader for advice/help? That's what NCOs are here for :)

PFC Perkins call the Air Assault school [Campbell, Hood, Bliss, Drum, Bragg] you plan on going to and get their packet. They'll have the packing list within that packet and you should go from there. Speaking as a former Air Assault Instructor, make sure you EVERYTHING that is on that packing list. You don't want to accumulate negative points for not having the gear that is on the packing list. Judging on how many points you have for not having a certain item on the packing list, you may not be able to comeback from that which gets you sent home and booted from the course.
