So im still kind of confused, using Fox's Ghillie as a Example, when would you put your gear on? Over that ghillie? Or under? If under, do you have to pull your shirt up to get anything?

Depending on what you carry, you'd be better to have a slim loadout that is worn under the ghillie suit. That way, you don't have to ghillie your gear and you can leave to top part of your ghillied BDU shirt open to access your stuff. You can also lift the bottom part to reach lower item on your belt.
It's nothing fancy really.
Wear your usual team uniform, add your sniper loadout. Once on the field, ready to move covert, put on your ghillie suit over all that stuff. That's why I like 2 peices ghillie that are one or two size bigger than what I usually wear. I mod the pants so they open at the bottom, up to the knee, so I can put them on without removing my boots. Voila. Simple as that.
And also, if it's raining or muddy, wear your goretex suit UNDER your ghillie, but over your gear. So you can remove it if it's getting too hot, or the rain clear. That way, your ghillie will get soaked (it should be if it's raining) and you will stay dry and confy.
My first sniper clinic was held under pooring rain. Everyone was soaked wet, But I think most managed to stay warm under their goretex.
Forgive my un-ghillied head, I had to run, my camera was on a timer and it was raining badly on my 3000$+ baby.
Notice how the wet ghillies match the ground, even without local garnishing?
That's why you need a base color that match your ground color. Here it's more brown with little gree and tan.
Having your goretex on bring another challenge. You need to hide it, since it's shiny and under NV observation, it GLOW.
