Hey Jack Sly or myself will be with your shortly

While you're waiting can we get a picture of the exterior side of your cod and posterior? Thank you

The shims are behind the armor? Also, on the Knee Ammo boxes. there is a little extra plastic above and below the ammo boxes.

Hey Jack, welcome to your EIB review. Thank you for your patience and application, lets get to it.

CRL and EIB Application Requirements:

All submission photos are present. Your armor displays all the necessary elements to qualify for Expert Infantry so congratulations Trooper!       

 

Other-Armor Fit/Assembly:

In this section we review observation made by us and your fellow troopers. The suggestions are to improve the overall look of your armor. None of these suggestions will effect your EIB status. We have a few areas to cover so let's get to it.

 

1) Helmet paint lines and Hovi tip interior color. All the paint lines could be softened up a bit. They don't have to be perfect. The interior of the hovi tips should be white also. Following your pictures are some reference photos.

2) Shoulder bell to chest gap excessive. Your shoulder bell to chest plate gap needs to be reduced a bit. Tightening the connecting strips and removing some of the lower return edge should help.

3) Back plate to kidney gap excessive. There should be minimal gap here. Again, tightening the connecting straps should do the trick.

4) Butt plate popping out. It should reside just below the kidney and should be flush with it also. Another strapping adjustment should work.

5) Forearm gap

6) Ab button paint lines should be a bit cleaner.

8) Ab button vertical plate has too much edge on it and were recommending you trim it back a bit.

9) Top of thigh has some sharp edges were recommending you round off a bit to help prevent digging into your body.

 

10) Sniper knee to thigh spacing. There's nothing wrong with the sniper knee overlapping the thigh but you might want to install some foam in the back of the thigh itself which should increase some space between the two.

 

11) Thigh ammo belt too wide. The areas indicated should be trimmed within 1/8" of the boxes.

 

 

Centurion Suggestions:

Because Centurion photos show much more detail than EIB, items pertaining to Centurion might be seen there and not here. We try to point out all we can from what is seen but the final accuracy is the responsibility of the trooper. This is also where we try and get you in the best possible position for a successful Centurion application.

 

Our #1 concern is this armor maybe overlap constructed which cannot be used at Centurion. Outside of this, hear are a few more areas you'll need to address before you apply.

 

1) Thermal Detonator has no screws

2) Holster placement

3) Kidney to ab shall only have one seam. This area will need to be fix for level three.

 

CRL States

For level three certification (if applicable):

• A single visible seam line is present.
  

 

 

 

4) Left thigh cover strip is too long. The cover strip should stop just above the lower return edge.

 

Reference photo

 

4) Calf rear cover strip missing. The calves are to have a cover strip on the back outside half of the armor. The cover strip is what covers the inner half, no the armor itself.

Well that's it, thank you again for a great application, make some adjustments and we hope to see you in the Centurion thread soon.

Thanks for the approval! I was expecting lots of suggestions and things required before aiming for Centurion, so no problem there. I agree; the fact that so much of the armor overlaps is a big concern for me as well. I personally like the look but I do understand it's not movie-accurate. I'll fiddle around and see if I can make something work, but if I can't, I'm just happy to be EIB. Thanks so much!
