Looking good Jim! Doing RT proud! Good Luck!

[vettereddie[TK]]

Looking good.

 

Snap plates for the belt, why didn't I think of that. Would have saved moving them on the belt when I mis-aligned the drill hole on the suit.

Hey Jim thank you for your patience and welcome to your EI review. 

CRL and EIB Application Requirements:

All required submission photos have been posted. Your armor displays all the necessary elements to qualify for Expert Infantry. Welcome trooper, congratulations!       

 

Other-Armor Fit/Assembly:

In this section we review observations made by your fellow troopers and ourselves. Some observations may lead to suggestions to improve the overall look of your armor. If any suggestion affects any application, it will be listed separately in the above or below sections. Not much to cover Jim which is excellent, so lets look at what we think.

 

You must be pleased with how this build has gone, good balance, clean lines  overall, and only a few dress issues. The most common that we see are the shoulder bells and positioning. Yours aren't too bad, but could still do with those top straps being shortened to make the tops of the bells touch the shoulder bridges. The left one could also be rotated forward slightly to even the gap with the right.

We would also recommend dropping the left fore arm down to replicate the gap you have on the right between the Bicep.

 

 

 

Your belt positioning is also just a touch out. It should sit over the base of the main Ab button plate as in the below reference image.

One more thing is the length of your forearm cover strips. They are a little short at the elbows, and do look better if they are run to the end of the two halves. We look at these little things to get as many of our troopers looking as much the same as we can.

 

 

Centurion Suggestions:

In this section we prepare you for Centurion. If there were any areas of concern they would be discussed here. We do have a couple areas that will need to be address before applying for Centurion if you choose to do so.

Well Jim the only thing that stands out here is some return edge left at the wrist end of your fore arms.

 

As per the CRL

For level three certification (if applicable):

• No return edge on the inside of the front of the forearm is allowed.

All this material has to come out.

That is it my friend, a fantastic job of your armour with some minor corrections and you are ready to shoot for Centurion.

Congratulations once again sir

[Engineering trooper[TK]]

Thanks! Appreciate the input! Will work on the fixes to go for Centurion!

[magni[TK]]

Congratulations Jim! Those are some easy fixes. See you at Centurion soon!

[Engineering trooper[TK]]

Are these cut back enough to pass for Centurion?

 

Thanks,

I'd say yes. Looks like all return edge is gone.
