I believe you can equip kits to your BO's right from the start. First, you have to have a kit to give them. So go to requisitions and purchase a kit so that it is in your inventory. Then press U which will open your status page and your inventory. From their drag the kit from the inventory to the Kit slot on the BO of your choice.

How come there are so many kits, are you able to have more than one kit at a time as you level up?
Should i just be selling them for energy?
