Hi Daniel, and thank you for your EIB application!
First of all, thank you for your patience.
You don't have to worry about the size of your biceps. I'm also a “big biceps” Trooper. Everyone's body is different, and we adapt to everyone...
CRL and EIB Application Requirements:
All required photos have been submitted, and on behalf of the entire D.O. staff we are pleased to welcome you to the rank of Expert Infantry. Congratulations!
Other-Armor Fit/Assembly;
In this area we review observations made by your fellow troopers and the DO team. Some observations may lead to suggestions to improve the overall look of your armor, and please keep in mind that we consider both text (CRL) and pictures (screen caps/reference images) when reviewing submissions.
Starting with the helmet, it seems to be a little high... To be honest, it's not much, but if you can lower it a little, it will look much better from the front, and from the back it will cover the wrinkles in the neck seal.

The ear screws should be aligned with the rear edge of the traps. We always mention this as a “suggestion,” as it is somewhat difficult to correct. Furthermore, in your case, one side is perfect, and the other is almost perfect... It would only be necessary to cut it if the helmet looked “ugly,” which is not the case here.

It seems that some paint is missing from the boots due to friction caused by the armor. Although in some photos it looks like this has been fixed, we'll mention it here so that you can give them a coat of paint every now and then to keep them looking “very smart” in the troops.
About the Blaster, It looks like the scope rail is bent; it doesn't appear to have the step at the front. Maybe it's just "a little inside" the body of the blaster, and you can easily fix it.

Centurion Requirements:
In this section we prepare you for our highest tier of approval. Because Centurion photos must show more detail than EIB, items pertaining to Level 3 might be seen there and not here and additional photos may be required. We try to point out all that we can from what we are able to clearly see, but the final accuracy is the responsibility of the trooper.
Well, there's not much to mention here. Without a doubt, your armor is a work of art.
Although we know it will be there, we need a photo of the S-shaped joint of the helmet.
It's not much, but we need the belt to go up a little. You can use a little Velcro (for example) to keep the belt from moving.
L3.-The top of the ABS ammo belt should sit at or just above the bottom of the central and vertical abdomen button panels.

As for the blaster, there seems to be some weathering on the grip and T-tracks. With a little black paint, it's fixed... Very easy fix...
L3.- The blaster may have minor weathering or base metal exposure however, T-tracks and grips shall be of a black plastic appearance with no silver/metallic weathering allowed.

And that's it, Daniel. Congratulations. We look forward to seeing your Centurion application soon.
Don't forget to request your EIB certificate!
