Alright Jim thank you for your EIB application and patience. Let's take a look shall we.
CRL and EIB Application Requirements:
All the required submission photos have been posted. Thank you for making the suggested fixes mentioned by your fellow troopers. Your armor appears to display all necessary element as set out in the level 2 CRL. The DO crew would like to welcome you to Expert Infantry. Beautiful job on your MTK .... Congratulations :duim:

 

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. We have a few concerns to go over so starting at the top.

 

The tube stripes are a bit too far from the face. They should be roughly be a #2 pencil width away. We're encouraging you to reposition the stripes. Please take a look at the reference photo that's been provided.

Next up, the frown. It could just be a photo angle issue but it looks as if the right side is not as thick and as long as the left. If this is the case please thicken up and lengthen that area to give the frown a nice uniform look.

Working around to the back left vent looks considerably larger and longer than the right. We're requesting you revisit this area and correct it as necessary so that both sides are of similar shape and size.

The lower right ear appears to be a bit bigger than the left. Not a huge deal but worth mentioning none the less.

Though the shoulder bell strapping to shoulder strap cover is rarely talked about nor mentioned in the CRL, it's worth mentioning it should be black in color.

While on the shoulders there should only be one layer of material holding the cover down.

Making our way down, the chest plate should remain covering the Ab and there should be very minimal gap between the back and kidney plates. Tightening up the straps should bring these areas into spec.

Taking a look at the Ab plates the 4 button vertical plate should be smaller than the raised section that it's glued to. We're suggesting you trim it down a bit.

So we were taking a good look at the cloth waist belt and comparing to canon photos and your appears to be really thick and off white more than normal. I understand this is a good belt however, it just doesn't look canon. We're suggesting thin it out and lighten it up some how.

Holster is very shiny. It should look semi gloss in texture. Toning down the reflection would make it look more accurate.

Now for the legs, not a big deal but it looks as if the cover strips are extending past the top of the thighs. If they We encourage you to trim them back to the edge of the armor.

That's it for the EIB section.

  

Centurion Suggestions:
In this section we prepare you the best we can for Centurion. If there are any areas of concern they will be discussed here. We have a few areas to discuss here as well.

 

There can be no return edge on the wrist side of the forearms. Though yours appear to be pretty clean we can still see a little remaining. Please remove as needed.

The CRL states: "Level three certification (if applicable):
No return edge on the inside of the front of the forearm is allowed."

Ab to Kidney plate spacing. There should be very minimal gap between these two areas. Tightening the strapping between the two should do the trick. 

The CRL states: "Level three certification (if applicable):
Ideally there no gap between the abdomen and kidney armor."

Lastly the drop boxes appear to be a bit out of alignment with the farthest edges of the waist ammo belt. Adding a bit of glue between the cloth belt and connecting strap should hold them in place.

The CRL states: "Level three certification (if applicable):
Drop boxes are vertically aligned with the end of the ammo belt with minimal gap between belt and box."

Congratulation again, great job and hope to see you at Centurion :jc_doublethumbup:
