mickeymark34 Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 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. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmorja Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 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 twoAgain it is looking good. Post some more pics and we can help.Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chopper Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickeymark34 Posted May 4, 2020 Author Share Posted May 4, 2020 I still have to add the decals on the back of the helmet. I will do that tonight.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aradun Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Coming together nicely Mark. A few adjustment and you’ll be ready to rock! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopper Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickeymark34 Posted May 5, 2020 Author Share Posted May 5, 2020 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.
