Hey Taylor thank you for your EIB application. Let's get cracking!!
CRL and EIB Application Requirements:
All the required submission photos and some are present. You armor displays all the necessary components as set out in the CRL for L2. Tony and myself would like to welcome you to the rank of Expert Infantry :salute:. Excellent job :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 minor areas to go over here so let's get to it.

Two things with your Biceps. Maybe drop them down a touch to even out the black gaps between them and the other end of the fore arms .

Secondly there is some extra material past the return edge that could be sanded off or trimmed away. Both only very minor adjustment.

This one cis just an alignment or dressing issue, but your belt could be a little higher up in the middle so it is sitting on or over the bottom of the main button plate.

As we look around to your back and kidney plates there is a considerable overlap of the two. Looks to be maybe an inch or so. These two plates should sit neatly  on top of each other. There are two options to achieve this. 1. Drop the kidney plate or 2, and this is by far the most common approach, lift the back plate by trimming from the top section around the neck of the back plate. Better than trimming from the bottom of that piece as it allows the lower return edge to stay and have the parts butt up nicely.

One last thing for this section and not a deal breaker but a step closer to screen accuracy would be to trim some of the button plate edges back. The small button plate should sit within the raised section it's mounted upon as in the lower reference image.

Centurion Suggestions:
In this section we prepare you the best we can  for Centurion. If there are any areas of concern that would effect a successful application this is where we discuss them.

You have done a brilliant job of your armour and having the extra photos does make it easier for us to pinpoint certain correction. You  only have two areas of concern and both very easy to remedy.
 

Firstly, you will need to remove any and all of the return edge from the wrist ends of your forearms to meet the Lvl 3 CRL

 

For level three certification (if applicable):

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

Drop box alignment. The CRL states: 

For level three certification (if applicable):

Drop boxes are vertically aligned with the end of the ammo belt with minimal gap between belt and box.

This is an easy fix, if you glue the drop box straps to the waist cloth belt you shouldn't have any more issues with end alignment.
