Congratulations 🎉 you’ve done a great job! Be proud of your achievement.

looking forward seeing your Centurion application, you are so close 😃

And btw, dad bods rock! Chocolate rules 😅 do some “beach posing” for the photos and suck it in some extra! Tightening the belt a bit extra or adjusting the armor to sit a bit lower or a bit higher could do the trick too. Small adjustments does a lot sometimes I’ve noticed myself.

 

Good luck and again job well done on your EIB!!

Haha, thanks mate - I'll give that a crack. I am just about there with the final touches for lodging my Centurion application. I'll play around with the strapping and see what works best before doing anything drastic like cutting out beer and chocolate!

 

For the DO team, here's the IOU hard guards that a local member kindly manufactured for me. They're now glued and ready for some photos!

 

Cheers

I love the velcro inside your suit! It makes adjustments quite easy unlike mine where I would have to make new straps with line 24 snaps to do any adjusting.

Thanks so much - another TK in our garrison gave me the idea. Definitely helpful while getting started (this was my first ever kit/costume, so had HEAPS to learn). It gives you a bit of flexibility, especially once you start trooping. I think only one or twice have any of the strips come undone, but they are very easily fixed.

 

That being said, I've recently bought some good quality snaps and am going to replace some of the velcro fixings. I find the shoulder bells do stretch a bit away from the bridges, so a firmer nylon and snaps should give it more rigidity. I'm sure I'll kick myself the first time I need to do up the snaps and can't reach them!

My wife has to help me snap my shoulder bells.

I can do mine myself - BUT sometimes (particularly for the photos she just LOVES taking ), I get her to do them up perfectly.
