Darth Aloha

I think he meant the side tube of the HWT pack? Maybe? -Eric

It clearly takes one to know one. Wait until you see those shorts with my Vader. Why do you think I got a two piece undersuit? -Eric

I can't express how much I'm looking forward to meeting everyone. Something tells me that your better judgement still isn't good judgement. -Eric

You should be able to log in now. At some point... maybe someday... I'll go see why validation emails aren't being sent from MEPD. -Eric

And after the first two light scores you probably won't need the metal straight edge anymore. The blade will usually follow the groove nicely. -Eric

We all know you have more to say than that. Please do hold back. -Eric

I wouldn't take me or that too seriously All we ask is that you show up and say hi. -Eric

All: Gaz apologizes, but he was called away unexpectedly on business and will not return until Monday the 13th. I will be reviewing EIB and Centurion applications until he returns. (Wheee!) -Eric

I walked past these at work just now -Eric Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Party name changed to "Stormtrooper Social" after a long drawn out discussion with PIckles Please join us. -Eric

John, If you're super worried about it stuff an orange foam earplug in the muzzle (I think it was Zaphod who showed me that trick) or get orange electrical tape and tape a couple wraps on the front of it. That'll allow you to have a bit of orange when you need it and remove it when you don't. -Eric

Edwin, I'll be posting about this elsewhere in the forum but Gazmosis was called away unexpectedly on an urgent matter. So your application doesn't languish he asked me to take a peek. He and I discussed the details of your EIB at length (because there is no such thing as a short phone conversation with Gaz.) Your armor sucks. Please send it to me and I will dispose of it... on second thought there is no way I would fit into it so I guess I have to actually review it. CRL and EIB Application Requirements: Neither of us see any reason why you should not be awarded an Expert Infantry Badge. Congratulations trooper and thank you for your patience. Please report to Docking Bay 327 for standing around and looking shiny duty. Centurion Suggestions: Here is a quick list of the things you'll need to fix before achieving Centurion: Remove the paint from your crotch rivet Move your drop boxes out to the end of the belt. The outside edge of the drop box should like up with the outside edge of the plastic belt. The paint on your left ear rank bar should match the one on the right. They're painted differently and the right one looks more betterer. Do you have the small white elastic that goes around the end of the shoulder bridges? I can't tell from your photos if they're there. If not you'll need to add that too. Please let me know here or via PM if you need photo references for these things. Other-Armor Fit/Assembly: If you have seen other EIB applications before you will know that this is the section where we make suggestions to help you look EVEN better than you do as an EIB. These suggestions really do not have much to do with any FISD advanced tactics awards. We only have two notes here. One is of course the butt plate flare. It could be the way you're standing but if it really does flare like that consider putting another elastic to the kidney to keep it from being unruly. The other is I think your holster straps are a tad long. Please consider shortening them. That's it! Congrats again and we're both sorry this took so long. -Eric

Yeah the WTF helmet is really really nice. I have a couple I need to build. Time is not a commodity at the moment. -Eric

You're in good hands. I have a WTF sitting in the box for many months. It is bound for a mannequin. I'll be watching this thread closely WTF not MTK -Eric

Hey folks, IOC has 50 people coming to their mixer Thursday night. We're the largest detachment on the Legion. Where is everyone? -Eric

David: I think you're our first WTF build thread Congrats on the big brown box and we look forward to seeing your progress. -Eric

I'll let you guys work it out. I'm standing by waiting for images to hack up -Eric

Brian/Jason: Send them to me and I'll put them up. I'm on a wiki roll today. Who has the photos of the statue back plate? And the statue boots? -Eric

Yo man... for the CRL who took the photo and what is her TKID? -Eric

Your armor vendor should have or may give you extra plastic for the cover strips. If they didn't try and ask them to send you some -Eric (Hi Mark!)

I suggest riveting snaps onto your holster... and belt. When you're ready to put it on your TK belt just do the same to it and voila. I find its easier to remove than chicago screws for storage. http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/19369-most-expert-holster-attachment-technique/?p=235402 -Eric

Text me when you're done eating food with your hands and calling your waitress a wench. I have no doubt we'll still be at it somewhere. -Eric

That's pretty darn clever. I made mine a little wider so I could clamp and glue on either side of the snap. -Eric

What now? Don't make me take away your admin privileges on FISD. -Eric

And there's also Super Mega Fest Spring Edition 4/17 - 4/19 coming up which is turning into a big little con if you can make it. I think we'll have the compactor and stuff. -Eric
