Darth Aloha[Admin] Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 Expert Infantry Application Guidelines Creating Application Post Request 501st membership status Create new post in the Request Expert Infantry Status forum Format the topic title as follows: TK0123 requesting COSTUME_NAME EIB status [ARMOR TYPE] List the mandatory costume information below ,which should include a link to your approved armor (501st record) Put photos directly into the post Photo Guidelines Size: Photo size larger than 800x600 (preferably 1280 x 960) to allow the DO to see your armor's details. 1024x768 Lighting: Try to take your pictures with good light. Direct sunlight is not good, as it gives hard edges. Using flash is also bad, as it creates too much contrast, colors turn out weird and will concentrate light on one point. You can put yourself next to a window during the day to get a nice indirect lateral light, without the need to use flash or additional light sources. Photo Background: Try to use a neutral color such as medium grey or tan. Too dark or too light backgrounds are problematic. The white armor parts or the dark underarmor parts tend to blend with those backgrounds. Try to use a solid color or simple background. Do not use white or red backgrounds. Framing: Ensure the full body photos contain both your boots and the top of the helmet. Try to reduce the amount of space between your body and the edge of the photo. Ask the photographer to zoom or step close enough to allow you to fill up the photo with as much of you as possible. Inserting Photos - Post your photos directly into submission post. If you are unsure how to do this, read this tutorial or ask on the forum. Do not put link to the photos in your request. * Note: if a particular detail noted in the CRL is not clearly visible, the applicant may be asked to provide additional photos.

Follow off the checklist that you can download and print off so that you apply correctly the first time and have submitted the required pics. Also, post each picture directly into the thread by using a photo sharing program like photobucket. Don't post a link to your photos....

DayFire[TK] Posted July 22, 2016 Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 Do you have to have a blaster to submit for EIB? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locitus[Admin] Posted July 22, 2016 Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 Do you have to have a blaster to submit for EIB? Yes. Only if you live somewhere where it would be illegal to own a prop blaster would you be except. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmeeone Posted December 29, 2016 Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 How much are we allowed to trim from the rear top of the lower leg armor, and still meet EIB and Centurion. Also, on the wrist side, inner and outer return edges, if we cut those off, but left the elbow side of the forearm armor alone, does it disqualify us from the Centurion level?

justjoseph63[Staff] Posted December 29, 2016 Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 A lot of it will depend on your height, Chris. If you look at some of the Centurion submission photos http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/forum/72-request-centurion-status/they will give you an idea of what to do as far as how to trim them. Since some Troopers are taller/shorter than others, the amount will vary, but as long as you follow the the existing curve, you will be fine, Don't worry about the return edges on the back (or front) of the thighs, as these are not required for any level. As for the elbows, remove all return edges. You will be much more comfortable as they will not dig into you when bending your arm and allow you a greater range of motion.

Gaby[TK] Posted September 30, 2018 Report Share Posted September 30, 2018 Hi. Quick question, if I'm a 501st approved member, that means I've submitted all this pictures to be approved. Why do I have to do it again? And do FEM-TKs count in here? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themaninthesuitcase[Admin] Posted September 30, 2018 Report Share Posted September 30, 2018 The basic 501st clearance is done by your Garrison GML. This gets you your tkid and means you can troop. For levels 2 (EIB) and 3 (Centurion) you apply here at the detachment. So yes you will need to “reapply” here but most pictures for EIB will generally be covered by what you used for basic. Have a look at the relevant CRL to see what exactly you need to show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can be helpful to look at a couple of recent EIB passes to see the format in action and also double check your suit before application.
