So sorry to hear about this.

Why become a member? Because it's just so much fun!! Nothing beats the look on kids faces as they see the movies literally come to life in front of them, and then watching all the adults turn into little children

It's the Sandy in you, you want to weather and dirty everything up Seriously looks amazing, can't wait to see the full build. Do you have the armor yet? If not, what are you shooting for? Edit.. can't spell

Most likely the ab plate just fell off on this one.

Welcome back! Officer huh? Does this mean if we see you at C5 we have to salute? Good luck with the officer, I've recently learned that they can be just as complicated and time consuming (if not moreso) than a standard TK

Congratulations!

I know it probably wont do much, but isn't there a way to leave negative feedback on a buyer on ebay?

A great milestone to hit! Congratulations!

Don't forget it is possible to run a version of Windows on a Mac for those programs that don't support Mac normally.

I feel for you. I'm an hour or more from the nearest troopers and close to 4 hours from the majority of the Garrison, and setting up troops in my area is like pulling teeth, it seems local business just don't understand what we do. But, don't fret you always have all of us here online in the FISD and your local Garrison. Ask around, you never know what you might have in your surrounding areas.

Love the upgrades! Thanks everyone for all the hard work

That was great!

The armor should help keep that tight. If its really loose, you can wrap a piece of velcro or something similar around at the ankle to help keep it tight.

Hey now! I thought this was supposed to be a family friendly board

Forum downtime?!

The big question seems to be is does the TX have it's own EIB standards or is it simply a black version of one of the pre-existing EIB Standards?

The box appears to be filled with waste scraps of white plastic. I suggest you send it to me for proper disposal

Congratulations!

I've got something pretty similar to that. Whole TK fits except for my bucket. It really is all in the way you pack it. I've got Ab plate, butt and kidney, chest and back all stacked. Then biceps go into forearms which go into your shins which go into the thighs. Only problem is my belt, because my holster is not removable. I even keep my CA boots in the tub, shoebox and all. All fits pretty well. Before I paid money for any tub, I laid out all the armor on my bed and worked on getting it as packed and small as possible, then measured the amount of space I would need. Overkill, probably, but I am a trooper on a tight budget.

Congratulations!

Ugh.. snow bloody fraking snow! On the plus side I do get a 3 day weekend due to not being able to make it to work today.

I store my glasses (because I can't wear them under the bucket) in my Thermal Det tube. I've got a pouch on a lanyard around my neck for my ID/cash/Debit card/hotel room key/etc. Normally I give my cell phone to my wife to hold, she's usually my spotter, but I'm thinking about going non-canon and just leaving it clipped to my belt. I don't try to carry too much on me because it's just in the way. Most of my stuff stays stashed in my armor tub while I'm in armor.

Lots of people have the MRCE, but that's mostly because they were really low in price there for awhile. However, the prices on them are going back up. It's not worth it, if you want a helmet for trooping. You can get better for the same price or cheaper. If you just want a lower priced display piece, the MRCE is reasonable.

I've got a pretty big noggin and I fit into the MRCE. I've only tried on 2 other TK buckets, my old FX and a Garrison mate's AP, but it was assembled very small and I wasn't able to get it on. Like everyone else has said, the majority of the sizing and fit is in the construction. You are building to your body, so you will make it fit you.

I agree. Grandfather in with a time frame for changing.
