M.J Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Your doing a great job, and in the process showing new members other options on how to fix and reattach. Bloody awesome… this is what we love to see. Boots are looking good, oh I know the pain of redoing boots. love how you’re going dirty, the Mandalorian Scout is soo growing on me. oh I would dearly be honoured to troop with you and our pathfinders around the globe, but being Australia is the furthest away from you all. I have the opposite problem to you guys, I have a hubby I have twist his arm .. not liking my chances ….lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikerScout98 Posted October 13, 2021 Author Share Posted October 13, 2021 I got a message here stating that the scout flak vest is optional for basic 501st requirements. Anyone know anything about this? After reading that message i decided to take some updated "basic approval photos" to since i wouldnt need to wait on my new flak vest to join. I made copies to post here before i send them to the gml if the vest information is solid. If i tagged you, i did so because i wanted to show you where i am at with my armor at this point. Thanks @MikerScout @AradunFF @M.J @Retrofire @BikerScout007 @sconlon68 for your contributions to this thread to date. I actually think this is a pretty good photo of me in armor...

MikerScout Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 If you have any question about something that is "optional" check the CRL. The vest is most certainly in the CRL as a basic requirement. (basic requirements are in black, Level 2 is in blue) https://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:TB_Scout_trooper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(basic requirements are in black, Level 2 is in blue) https://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:TB_Scout_trooper @MikerScout This is the text of the email i sent last night to my gml: Hey Stephen, I got a message in the Pathfinder forums about the vest being optional? Is there any truth to that, or is this just mistaken or thinking of older requirements? I ask because if you have viewed my fixed issues photos and are good with them all, since no vest is required at this point inwoukd this be approved for basic right? I went directly to the CRL of the armor i bought, and up to that point i hadn't noticed anything optional for the ROTJ Scout Trooper, except under the Lancer tier ( Asyou know black is basic and blue is lancer). I'm not going to get my hopes up too quickly, but its great news if i don't have to wait just for the vest to come in weeks from now, to submit my armor photos and action pose for final approval into basic membership of the 501st... Thanks for any info and or considerations on this or any matter pertaining to me. Hope to hear from you soon stephen, -Scot *I have been to the CRL page so many times i know it almost by heart.

I suspect that your GML, who does the initial 501st clearance, will give you the same answer. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikerScout007 Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 The vest is not optional. I don't think it's been optional since maybe....2010, 2012? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks @Chopper I got another message stating that he was thinking of another armor at the time he was messaging me. Btw, I have been bouncing back and forth from yours and @AradunFF (lancer deployment approval) threads when i needed to fix issues with my armor. I'm not FOCUSED on lancer atm, but why not fix issues at the lancer tier and be prepared when that time does come around right?? 😉. I also read around 20 ➕ other lancer deployment threads, and so far yours is the only one that needed no fixes. Very nice work! 👏👍 On 10/13/2021 at 10:31 AM, BikerScout007 said: The vest is not optional. I don't think it's been optional since maybe....2010, 2012? @BikerScout007 i got a second message from him saying that he didnt need his vest for basic approval when he did his submit. So that tells me just how long hes been around. 😳 Some of you in here are serious veterans of the 501st. Y'all should get some kind of pension at that rate! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aradun Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Hey Scot. Nice pics and what a difference from where you started. Well done! One thing that wasn’t noted in your own evaluation of your recent kit up was the undersuit peeking through between your belt and bund. It’s a common problem. When you do submit for reelz. Make sure that bund is sitting snug on top of that belt so no black shows through. Outstanding job. You should be proud bud! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.J Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 I love your commentary, the confusion of the flak vest, years ago and I means years flak vest was optional, I was one of those that didn’t need it, though both my kids had to have them for approval and that’s been … at least over 5 years could be 7 … I’m old … well that’s my excuse..lol.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that all too well because it is brought up alot by leadership in many lance deploy req's threads, that and the bunched Cod. It just seems to me that when you move around your gonna see the two seperate eventually or even immediately? Look forward to reading your answer on that for sure! I went to go grab this photo and while i was doing that, I answered my own question. You pull the COD up in between the two. Good eye Aradun! 🧐 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been posting on forums since internets beganz...hehe. Some boards are just dry and humorless, others are all business amd to the point. Whats really great about these boards is: 1. Leadership (Admins, Mods) aren't @#$@% 😁🤫 so you it feels like you can be yourself (while remembering to keep comments, topics, etc, Rated P.G. ) 2. The vibe in here is just incredibly awesome. So many poeple are just super cool and down to help no matter who they are in life or how many armor builds they have or time in ranks, etc. The "I'm more important or I'm too advanced to deal with you rebel scum is not an issue here!...Woot! <-- remember that? 😂 3. If you have armor pertaining to a scout, your welcomed here if your a 501st yet or NOT. Then baby stepped dang near, to get that membership or next level you want met, information dating back to goerge lucas freshman year if need be.....hahaha. I dig comin here man....thanks for keepin my thread alive everybody 💯 🙏 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have plenty of pics that show that the codpiece goes past this point. For the film scouts, the codpiece was connected to the vest.

M.J Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 OMG love it!!! my oldest has been in the Legion for around 11 years so there ya go... badly want to be grandma but my kids a poo bottoms Now Velcro as mentioned, it it was me I would leave it, just as Mickey mentioned its a shadow and when you go trooping it wont be seen and I find movement is more important. Once adding velcro there is an issue of wear and tear as time goes on. If it annoys you go for it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eyes on the prize! Get approved first. You can get all this fit and finish stuff down the road. Absolutely, but my way of thinking is, if i set my armor up for lancer readiness, then the basic standards will have been exceeded thus approval wouldnt be an issue. Just how I was looking at it. But i also listen to reason and my more experienced peers, so yeah.....eyes on the prize is the current plan! 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
