First Time Suiting Up

[mickeymark34]

Hello Scouts. I suited up for the first time with all the pieces together. Any feedback will be greatly appreciated. I had to reglue a part of the left bicep, and it was drying at the time of the pictures being taken. I have a concern of the length of the sleeves on the flak vest. It will definitely be a learning process on dressing right, but I will get it in time.

Hi Mark, nice job overall. If you can post pics from all sides that would be helpful. Initial thoughts:
* You are correct the sleeves on the vest are too long, they need to be about a inch below the shoulder armor
* It looks like your bund needs to be pulled up as your velcroed pouches are sticking out on your right side. Putting some velcro o the vest will help keep it in place.
* Your cod looks a little tight, loosen the strap in the back a little
* Drop your belt boxes down about an inch or two
Again it is looking good. Post some more pics and we can help.

Thanks Jason. I was trying to post more but Tapatalk was having issues. I’ll give it another go.

Hi Mark, Jason got a lot of I was about to mention --

In addition to bringing your vest sleeves up to about where I've marked on the attached image, you might also want to move your drop boxes back a bit, so they're resting more evenly on your sides. In the photo the appear to be forward a bit. This will also help them sit in a better position.

Once your sleeves are moved up, you can bring your biceps up a bit as well.

If you have additional elastic slack on the cod, loosen it up a bit, so you can avoid the cod crunchies.

Good work dude.

I still have to add the decals on the back of the helmet. I will do that tonight.

Coming together nicely Mark. A few adjustment and you’ll be ready to rock!

For your reverse shot, I don't see anything else that's outstanding. Looks like we've covered most of it with your initial front side shot.

Keep it up.

Thanks for the input guys. I will make those adjustments. I will be bringing the sleeves up to standard. I already moved the drop boxes back and they do seem to sit better now. I will have Velcro attached so it will keep my cummerbund in place. Next time I will try to position the cod strap in a better spot so it doesn't bunch up. Again, all the input is greatly appreciated and I thank you for taking a look.
