Dear Detachment EIB/Centurion Selection Officers,
I have been a TK since June 2016. Since then I have participated in 10 trooping days with the Indonesia Outpost.
On Indonesia Comic Con 2016 trooping at 1-2 October 2016, I encountered stairways to go up the stage with about 30cm high steps. That proved to be a challenged for me wearing my armor. I am a stormtrooper and would like to keep my stormtrooper dignity going up and down the stage (without having minders hold my hand).
For future troopings, I would like to improve my mobility by cutting out armor parts. But I also would like to attain EIB and Centurion status in the future. Hence I am writing to you to seek approval to my proposed armor parts cutting.
Please view my photos....
Left leg rear view with problem area circled. I can hear the plastics clashing.
Left leg front view with problem area circled. The upper thigh is stabbing me.
Right leg rear view with problem area circled.
Right leg front view with problem area circled. Upper thigh is stabbing me.
My proposal:
Cut out the return edges at the rear of the lower thighs and upper shin rear as per the red lines above.
Upper thighs to be cut with curve shape about 1 inch from the top pointy edges that stab me.
As for my forearms. They are too long. I proposed to cutout the inside of the forarms towards the elbow bends so that the forearms can move to the elbow bends. See the forearms are covering part of the handguards.
Left forearm to be cut at the red curved line 1inch deep from the edge so the forearm can move back per the red arrow to show more handguard.
Right forearm to be cut along the red curved line about 1 inch deep from the edge so that the forearm can move per the arrow to show more handguard.
Please approve the above proposed cut. If not approved, please redraw on the picture the allowed cut with different color line.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Much appreciated,
Hubert
