Dan Hey Dan, just for clarification purposes as I'm taking pictures to help my fellow local troopers, are those not details required only on the Centurion checklist? They don't appear on the EIB checklist I printed from this forum. Quote

They don't appear on the EIB checklist I printed from this forum.Hi Eric,You’re correct about the check list and we will hopefully have that updated soon, however, the sniper knee alignment and thigh ammo pack fixings are requirements at L2 so we need to clearly see those areas for the review. Below are excerpts from the CRL;Level two certification (if applicable):•Sniper knee plate must be aligned with the ridges on the shinLevel two certification (if applicable):•Thigh ammo belt is attached to thigh with a solid head rivet, painted white, in the upper corner and fastened to the lower thigh ridge.•The rivets used shall be single cap, double cap or split rivets. No pop rivets allowed.Hope that helps a little. :-) 1 Quote

Just trying to make sure I'm providing everyone with a thorough application packet of pictures! No worries, Eric. Sometimes these areas are easy to see in the checklist pictures but other times it’s not quite possible to get the detail we need. Thanks for guiding troopers towards their higher clearance. :-) 1 Quote

TheSwede[TK] Posted February 22, 2019 Report Posted February 22, 2019 Hi again Good news your app is in review so just hang in there 1 Quote
CableGuy[Admin] Posted February 22, 2019 Report Posted February 22, 2019 Hi Lou, Thank you for your patience with your EIB application. CRL and EIB Application Requirements: Thank you for adding the additional photos requested. All required photos are now in and, after review, we are pleased to welcome you to Expert Infantry rank. You have built a fantastic looking set of armour. Congratulations! Other-Armor Fit/Assembly; In this area we review observations made by your fellow troopers and the DO team. Some observations may lead to suggestions to improve the overall look of your armour. Starting from the top, you've made a really nice job of your helmet. There are just a couple of small areas that might allow for that extra touch of "ANH". Starting with the frown, whilst there are a few different styles in ANH, many had the frown paint extending past the un-drilled 5th hole. This could be something to consider. We've also highlighted the ear angle. In an ideal world, the ear screws would line up roughly with the rear angle of the trapazoid. This won't affect clearance - just more of an FYI. Reference; Frown examples; Moving on, we've highlighted the tears. I suspect that these might be decals? On the right-hand side here, it looks like the trap decal/paint doesn't quite match the shape of the trap. This might just be the angle of the photos, however, this could be something to look at. The black pin-striping is also quite thick compared with screen used helmets so could be thinned down a little. Traps and Tears Reference; As below, GREAT job on those ab buttons. The painting looks fantastic. With the belt, there is currently quite a bit of excess material above and below the ammo packs on the plastic belt. I would consider trimming this down a few mm and then raising the belt up. Your sniper knee alignment is a little out. Ideally, the lines on the sniper knee would line up with the ridge on the shin - however, this appears to be a shaping issue with the sniper knee rather than something that you have done. As such, we will not be asking for any changes in this area. It is just something worth mentioning. Reference; Centurion Suggestions; In this section we prepare you for Centurion. Because Centurion photos show more detail than EIB, items pertaining to Centurion might be seen there and not here. We try to point out all that we can from what we see but the final accuracy is the responsibility of the trooper. Just one small thing to raise for Centurion from the pictures provided and that is just to watch the drop box alignment. In your belt only photos, the drop boxes line up perfectly. In your main photos, they appear to be a little out of line compared with the outer edge of the plastic belt. If they are not already, a little glue or a stitch on the drop box elastics could help keep them in line. Many congratulations on reaching L2. We hope to see you back soon for Centurion. 1 Quote
