They refer to this forum if they need to know something but otherwise don't interact with it, not posting a welcome post, because why write one if you're never gonna interact with them again? Therefore they don't get the link talking about lvl 2 and 3. I've actually had a few be surprised at it -- and then not research it themselves but work with me and other Garrison members on improving those details. Actually applying for lvl 2/3 wouldn't offer them anything that they don't already have though, aside from a certificate, so they're just happy with their improved armor.
I agree most of the guys don't feel a need to go further as their armor is better than they would have put it together, once i helped them put it together. I Work with a wide range of ages, and from folks from California all the way from Chicago, I actually had somebody fly down so I could help him with his armor. Granted he also came down on vacation to visit some relatives but for three days we worked on his armor and then he left and went back home after a week in Arizona.
I had a guy drive down from northern California for three days with his teenage soon, helped him with his armor then he left I told him to submit his EIB application and he never did and he was a older guy. Had a guy come down from his army deployment and helped him do his armor and told him to submit his EIB and he was 20 something and he never put in his application for EIB. So I feel it doesn't matter their age, like Luca said it is more than likely no incentive their armor is lv3 once I help them complete and they don't feel they need to win any awards even though it would be a shoe in or very easy to adjust.

What is their barrier to this? Lack of an account? I mean, it's like a 5 minute process to apply if you have all the photos already there.
In the past being eligible for that gold EI only coin was a big incentive, but maybe it no longer is?
The only thing I can think of is laziness or they are just not smart enough to go through the whole process. I practically build the whole kit for them, take them to buy the elastic and show them links to buy boots, gloves, neckseals,, holster and canvas belt.
I just think our society wants you to do everything for them or they won't even try it themselves.

I find it the hardest to get them to go to the forums and put in for EIB. I can build the armor for them take all the necessary pictures, but I can't make them post on the forums to apply for EIB.

I have built a couple of KB props FO's for my garrison mates, I currently have a couple of video on Youtube on how I did it. I also just helped a member in AZ finish her KB Phasma, she just needs to paint it. I have also helped some Californians build there armor, one mailed it to me and two others came down and I helped them build the armor over three days.

One day I hope I can be half as good as you Tony, but on a side note I find all I mostly do for my garrison is build all the troopers not just TK's

I happened to find Mike's TK build videos while searching YouTube for a visual reference on my first build. I am grateful that he has made them, as they helped me in spots where I was stuck, or needed confidence when I had none. They are very informative, and I probably would not be where I am at if it weren't for those videos, and help from friends and other Troopers in my area. I would like to commend him all the way from California, not having even met him. Although, I sent him a few emails to ask him some questions, and he kindly replied to each one. Thank you, Mike. Hopefully there will be a day that I can thank you in person.
Best Regards,
Mark
I am glad I could help hopefully we can meet up, I will be going to California to Disneyland for the Star Wars park.

I am doing a KB FO build, but i will be doing it a little differently than posting pictures. I have a Youtube channel and i have a ton of video. My main goal of this build is to put it together with CA glue and try not to use any paint. Right now it looks ok but i will have to see once it is complete, it is not my armor so it might take a little longer because i might have to wait on parts. Ok well here is the first video my Anovos TK versus my buddies KB armor.

Just started building the FO TK from KB if anybody is interested on how to put it together. It is similar to the Anovos but also different in some parts.

If anybody was wondering I have put some videos up with more to come, armour building with tk1636. I am trying to finish this kit without having to use bondo or paint, so hopefully I can get away without doing either.

I have more coming just need them to chime in on here, a lot of the guys I build for don't come onto FISD or don't put in for EIB. I try to build to EIB and Centurion from the get go, some don't want to post and I am fine with that. I started three years ago with my garrison because I wanted more accurate stormtrooper at our events, I never had any desire to post up videos but one of the guys I help got me started and the rest is history. Thank you all for the congrats and I will keep posting up video as long as people come over so I can help them build there kits.
