  1. Fellow troopers,

     

    Many of you might be interested in using a wireless microphone for trooping. I currently do and I highly recommend it for those who want to limit the hassle of dealing with wired microphones.

     

    One popular choice in my experience has been the Bietrun WMX01 that can be purchased in the US on Amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07PPDR5NT/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1. The only disadvantage I have had in using this system is when another trooper is also using the same system/frequency. Essentially, the first person to set up their connection will broadcast to all receivers simultaneously. As there is no manual channel changing capability, the affected troopers need to work together to set up separate channels as per the Quick Start Guide: https://www.bietrun.com/_files/ugd/65b1fe_2b21ae6b181944d09ad3936387ff9c37.pdf.

     

    I have two sets and tested this method myself so I know it works, the only hassle is that it requires some cooperation and time. I suspect similar products have similar instructions for using multiple units in proximity to one another. I haven't found an inexpensive headset with a simple switch-controlled channel changer yet, so I hope this helps those who are using similar mics and have had problems like this. Just to be prepared, I carry a print version of the Quick Start Guide in my bin should troubleshooting become necessary.

     

    Happy trooping!

  3. This seems to have been answered many times, but perhaps there has been a change in permissions. I can't seem to manage my attachments; there is no option to delete one or more files. Is there a work around? I tried Profile > Account Settings > Attachments and there seems to be no way to delete an attachment. Can someone advise? Thanks!

    Hi David, and thank you for your Centurion application! 

     

    CRL and Centurion 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 Centurion.  Congratulations!  :salute:

     

     

    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 armour. Note that we consider both text (CRL) and pictures (screen caps/reference images) when reviewing submissions.

     

     

    Well done Trooper !!!  :salute:

    WOW.. super nice job on those fixes, sir! :salute:  I am hopefully assuming you will be aiming for Centurion, and there is something I noticed about your bucket decals... the ones you currently have do not look like the ones AM normally includes with their kits  As per the CRL for Level 3, "Tears/traps shall be hand painted or use decals that emulate hand painted..", and yours look a little too "perfect" in comparison with those seen onscreen.

     

    BUT, if you are willing to change them out, I have a complete spare set of current AM decals that I will send to you (no charge),.  Just shoot me your shipping info. via PM if interested.

    **P.S.  The photos of the AM decals appear lighter because of the camera flash, but they are actually the correct color.

     

    Corrected  Helmet Features

    1. I used the decals I had that came with the AM kit, rather than go about painting by hand.
    2. Pictures of the corrected left and right tears and left and right traps are shown, using these decals with correct details.

    Decals:

    Left Tear:

    Right Tear:

    Left Trap:

    unEInWA.jpg?1

     

    Right Trap:

    dbn2lzz.jpg?1

     

    This should address the last requested changes. Thank you for your consideration!

     

    Respectfully,

    As for the decals. it's up to you.  Hand-painting is great, and if you have the skills and a steady hand I highly suggest going that route.  Speaking of painting, as Glen mentioned the paint on many of the teeth needs to be taken back a bit before one of us starts your EI review.  Although many GMLs miss this item, it is actually a requirement for Basic approval:  "Frown is painted gray and does not leave the teeth area"   10 careful minutes with some Q-tips, toothpicks and a NON ACETONE paint remover and you are good to go.  I suggest Goof-Off, which is a citrus based paint remover and is available in tiny bottles, often at the Dollar Store.

    The frown was corrected in the EIB submission - that detail wasn't missed by you! Apologies, but when I started this thread, some of those images remained. Here are the pictures showing the corrected frown from the EIB submission:
