theisaac Posted July 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 I think I'm done. Here are the pics I took today and sent over to my GML. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theisaac Posted July 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 I filled out a form on our garrison website then sent pics and a link to this thread to my GML. Is there more to do usually to get your TK ID? Isaac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnnfr72[TK] Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 Hey Isaac! Your armor is looking good! I think your GML let's you know when you are approved. It's been awhile since I filled out my application, though. Your belt looks like it is sliding up like mine did. I ended up putting industrial strength velcro on my butt plate - up high right next to my kidney plate. Then, I put more velcro on the back of my belt (nobody can see it) so that I could have my canvas belt always sitting over where the butt/kidney plates meet. I also had to put straps on each corner of my butt plate and have it secured under my cod piece. It's sort of a pain to get into, but it helps keep my butt plate corners from sticking out. Oh, make sure you can go up and down stairs without getting armor bites! I learned that lesson the hard way. My bruises eventually faded in a few weeks. I'd say you did a good job, TROOPER!!!! Congrats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theisaac Posted July 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 thanks Jenny! I appreciate the feedback as well. I see what you mean aboit the belt being high in the back. I dont know if thats how it usually sits or if my wife just pulled it too high when she secured it. Ill mark it somehow to make sure its in the right spot if someone helps me get suited up. do you see anything else I missed? it looks like the right thigh is sitting lower so i raised that as much as i could after looking at the pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnnfr72[TK] Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 Those dang wives!!! heee heee.. I can say that because I'm one of those dang wives! Well... since you asked me to do what I do best, and nag... when I re-looked I see the back of your left shin cover plate could be trimmed a tiny bit. It sticks out just barely at the bottom down by your boot. But, really I don't think that's a big deal, and maybe it just got a little off when you put on your shin armor? You really did do a good job, so I can't pick on you. That's nice looking armor ya got! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mongoose[TK] Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 I just got approved. I sent my pictures to my CO as my GML had limited internet capability. I was approved later on that day. It took a week for my TK # to arrive via email. Just be patient, it'll happen. I know it's easier to say. I was checking every new email with excitement.

TxtbookNinja Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 Isaac, your build looks great! I'm actually looking to yours as a reference since I'm a fairly big guy as well and just started my AM 3 days ago, and your build thread pretty much asked all the questions I had. Congrats, as Im sure you will soon be getting your 501st/TK#! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tkrestonva[TK] Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 Well done. So what do the twins think of their dad, the newly-minted Stormtrooper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theisaac Posted August 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 Ive had some great times with them during the build. They like to sneak out into the garage when im at work and "help". once they spray painted a black streak down a thigh... it buffed out lol. they told me "Dad, I love you because you make the best stormtroopers". or "dad, are you making more bad guys"? i hope its something they remember for years. even the wife is in on it. she can spot the difference between hero and stunt and ANH and ESB tk's lol.
