Master Armorer Program Question

[Firedog[TK]]

I will be working with my 19 yo son, who should be joining the boards soon, as I have discussed him being very proactive in the build process. I can imagine that I will be doing a sizable amount of work on his build. Given the circumstances of the times in relation to social distancing and the lack of armor parties, can any my work on his build be counted toward Master Armorer?

To count towards the master armorer program the armor you have helped build must be EIB approved "The FISD Master Armorer program is an optional, detachment only incentive award to recognize individuals who have directly helped another 501st stormtrooper to achieve Expert Infantry status. Some people spend countless hours helping others, and want to reward their results as well as incentivizing new people to help as well"

 

"To register a “win” in the program, the assistance must have provided hands-on help trimming, building, and/or fitting of said armor for the person who was awarded Expert Infantry status.

 

Other program notes:

• Helping remotely, giving advice, or taking payment in exchange for help does not account, all work must be voluntary and without expectation of compensation.

• The assistance must be for a period of 30 minutes or more. Spending 15 minutes tweaking someone’s fitting or taking photos does not count.

• "wins" can be retroactive, e.g. if you helped 5 people in 2017 already, those can count as long as they are fully documented."

Thank you for the clarification. If I understand correctly, he would have to be a member of the 501st seeking to achieve EIB for my assistance to credit? Apologies for seeming pedantic. My biggest flaw is being an overachiever.

He would need to be 501st and then EIB approved for it to count to the program. You also need a minimum of 5 EIB approved which you have helped for the first award to be granted.
