Doggydoc[Staff] Posted March 11 Report Posted March 11 Hi Tim, I will be the Deployment Officer overseeing your application. Your application looks great and you have an amazing set of armour. Before we go ahead with the approval however, I just need a couple of things from you. 1. Could you please send another photo of the right side of the helmet? The one you have does not clearly show all 3 screws as the bottom screw is not visible. You just need to grab the photo at a slightly lower angle. There are a couple of minor fixes that we will need you to do as well before we can move ahead with the approval. With respect to the thermal detonator, Your control panel is sitting a bit too high and the round disk is pointing upwards. The CRL for the control panel is as follows: Basic CRL: The white control panel raised ribbed pad faces the rear, with the controls/round washer style detail closest to the right end cap. This is a fairly simple fix. All you need to do to correct this is open up the clip a bit to allow the thermal detonator to roll down a bit. Reference Images The second fix we will need on the thermal detonator is with respect to the placement of the clips. They should be up against the white end caps. You will just need to move them over slightly. If the black paint on the screws gets chipped off while doing this, its a simple touch up with a dab of paint. L2 CRL: Thermal detonator belt clips are positioned with little to no gap between the clips and the end caps. Reference Images 4 Quote
TrickyT81[TK] Posted March 12 Author Report Posted March 12 All good with these Doggy. May have questions about the angle of the TD buttons but will see how I get on first. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote

Here is a photo to explain what I am talking about with adjusting the clip. You essentially are just unrolling the thermal detonator on the clip slightly. Let me know if this doesn't make sense. 1 Quote
TrickyT81[TK] Posted March 13 Author Report Posted March 13 Hey Doggy,To rectify the TD clip placement, I’ve had to remove the button panel, cover the old clip holes and re-glue (the new holes would have been too close to old ones and would probably have made one bigger hole). I’ve then attached the clips in the correct position. Just as an FYI, my RS build kit came with the clips already attached. I’ll post new pictures tomorrow, along with the additional helmet images. Do you me need to put the full suit back on or are you happy with just the top half so you’re able to see that the TD buttons are angled correctly?Thanks,TimSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
TrickyT81[TK] Posted March 14 Author Report Posted March 14 Hi Doggy, I’ve now made the corrections to my TD which I hope now meets the CRL requirements. Please find photos of this plus the additional helmet photo you requested showing the 3 screws on the ear piece. If you need anything else, just let me know. Thanks,TimSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote
Doggydoc[Staff] Posted March 19 Report Posted March 19 Hi Tim, Sorry for the slow reply, was away trooping for the weekend. The photos look good. I will look over your application over the next few days. 2 Quote
Doggydoc[Staff] Posted March 22 Report Posted March 22 Hi Tim, and thank you for your EIB application! CRL and EIB Application Requirements: All required photos have been submitted, and on behalf of the entire D.O. staff we are pleased to welcome you to the rank of Expert Infantry. 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 armor, and please keep in mind that we consider both text (CRL) and pictures (screen caps/reference images) when reviewing submissions. The angle of screws should ideally line up with the back of the trap. The left side is pretty close , but the right is just a bit off. References The shoulder straps are floating a bit in the back. This should be an easy fix with a hot water bath. References Your left thigh is sitting a bit high when compared with the right side and will likely cause armour bite where it meets the cod piece. This is likely more of a strapping issue and should be an easy fix. The sniper knee plate may need to be shifted forward to make room once the thigh is lowered. This may be achieved with some padding at the top front portion of the shin armour. May also want to trim off the top of the front cover strips on the thighs as they will dig into the upper leg when walking. References *************************************************** Centurion Requirements: In this section we prepare you for our highest tier of approval. Because Centurion photos must show more detail than EIB, items pertaining to Level 3 might be seen there and not here and additional photos may be required. We try to point out all that we can from what we are able to clearly see, but the final accuracy is the responsibility of the trooper. Your right shoulder bell distance from the shoulder strap is perfect, the left could be moved in a bit. This can be corrected with a slightly shorter strap or by moving the snap further in on the shoulder bridge L3 CRL: There should be a minimal gap between the shoulder armour and the chest/back plates References Fill in gap at bottom of rear of the right thigh. You can use Sugru or ABS paste for this L3 CRL: Lower thigh ridge joins (front and rear) shall butt-up flush against each other. Any gaps must be backed with ABS or filled as not to be noticeable. References Your ammo belt should be brought up slightly to sit at the bottom of the lowest blue button. This can be corrected with a bit of Velcro to hold the belt in place. L3 CRL: The top of the ABS ammo belt should sit at or just above the bottom of the central and vertical abdomen button panels. References 2 Quote

TrickyT81[TK] Posted March 22 Author Report Posted March 22 Wow! Thank you so much for approving my armour for EIB and the detailed feedback for my Centurion application, which I will submit soon. In the meantime, I’m going to enjoy this moment. When I do come to make the suggested corrections, should I post any questions I have on this thread or my build thread?Thanks again, I’m so pleased.

It's also a lot easier in this thread as the DO suggestions/comments can also be accessed and compared with any questions you may have. Looking forward to seeing your centurion app soon 2 Quote
TrickyT81[TK] Posted March 27 Author Report Posted March 27 Hi Doggy,I’m just making the alterations for following your recommendations in prep for my Centurion application and I have a question around the gap you mentioned on the back of my right thigh. I already have a piece of ABS there but can’t see too clearly because of the lighting on the picture. I’ve included a close up with this post and let me know whether this will suffice, or what further recommendations you have. Thanks again buddy! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote

It's normally the gap that needs filling, even with a piece behind the thigh. Reference Sugru or ABS paste will fill this gap 1 Quote
