Happy New Year!!

Hi Barry, and thank you for your EIB application!
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.
You did a great work with your armor 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 from top.
We see that you are using a hearing assist system, but the white ABS can be seen inside the holes. We suggest using a black Sharpie marker or a few dabs of black paint with a tiny brush on the inside of these so that they are not so noticeable. If you are no longer using the system, we ask that you fill in the holes and hit the bar with another coat of paint.
Reference Images
For more accuracy, we suggest to trim a little more the small ab buttons plate.

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.
We have a little details here for you ,( nothing to worry about). Let's start.
CRL L3: No return edge on the inside of the front of the forearm is allowed.
As Josehp noted,this one is just a 5 minutes fix with a dremel or some sand paper to remove last little bit of return edge from the wrist opening on your forearm.
Reference Images
CRL: The white control panel raised ribbed pad faces the rear, with the controls/round washer style detail closest to the right end cap.
The TD is a little high. It should be about the same height as the canvas belt. On the other hand, the ribbed pad could face a little further back so that the round washer is positioned lower as well.
Reference Images
CRL 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.
Some battle damage (weathering ) looks nice. As the Crl states, some parts (grips and T-tracks) were made of plastic so may not have any silver/metallic weathering appearance . Another easy fix here trooper!

And that's all. Welcome to EIB ranks and we are sure we'll be making your Centurion Submission so soon!
HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!

I am still curious about the blaster as well. Do I have to be wearing it when taking the pictures of the body? Or can it be shown for just the required detail photos?
Its preferable not to wear the blaster. why this? usually the blaster tends to bend the canvas belt and make you look like going to the side.

Hi. I have a question about the arm positioning in the demo photos for image submission for EI. The following images show the arm at different angles. Is the one with the arms going forward acceptable for the side with arms up, or does it have to be like the one with the hand reaching towards the camera? Also, do we need to have our blaster in our holster for the photos? I have pictures of it, just didn’t have it in the holster when taking pictures. Thanks!
Either way is ok. My preference is the 1st one because the AB-Kidney connection looks better.

Sorry to hear that sir. Your health is first.
You can always support the troops as an officer, ( you can sit in officer's costume) , a handler or combat photographer .

Looking great! What I think could improve a lot your helmet is to trim a little the right eye to avoid that sleepy look.
