Misfit Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 So I need to trim the top of the back of my shins and this bottoms of the back of my thighs. If I do so will it keep me from making officer or swat status? I'm talking about cutting a small rectangle in the band area so I can bend and not walk around like Frankenstein. Thanks guys Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bacta Baby Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 I'm doing the same thing because I'm so short. I can't move without trimming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyBoy Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Based on the program not wanting to eliminate people based on weight and height, I would say that if it is done with the "how they would have done it" approach and the rest of your build is spot on you should be good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misfit Posted August 8, 2013 Author Share Posted August 8, 2013 Great advice but man I'm nervous. I have AP armor and I'm 5'9 and 170. I was hoping for not trimming at all but looks like ill have to. Maybe cut it after approval to troop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe cut it after approval to troop? Dave, I am the same height & weight and have an AP suit. Although I don't have any photos of the backs of my legs in my SWAT submission, here's a photo of my MEPD submission. I didn't alter the backs since then. Hope this helps.
