DarthStevius Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 I may be missing the point here, but it looks like you haven't had basic approval as a sandtrooper yet, so you can't be "deployed" (level 2 approval as a PO). If you've been knocked back from basic approval, you need to take it up with your Garrison GML. Have they given you feedback on why you were knocked back? Maybe post some pics on here and you can given some guidance, but it's your GML that approves entry level submissions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I can see from the application you deleted, you were asked to provide photos of: Green Lenses on Helmet Neckseal Snap on Ab Plate (the right top one) Rubber Gloves Latex Handguards (show they are made of rubber by flexing them in a photo) Side photo showing the gap between your ab and kidney plate (wearing armor with arms raised to see the fit) Pack photo, just the pack alone with decent lighting to see the details, the lighting is a bit dark in your photos These are all pretty standard in applications, it was just a request so your application could move forward, it has nothing to do with photo quality or how it was presented. The DOs frequently ask applicants for more photos so they can see what they need to see. Its not an attack on you, just the application process.

Exactly, and I don't understand why you are bringing it up here again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m4vrick Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 I think i kind of have some idea what's going on. I did comment on his PO post before. I suggest TD2190 to make peace with the deployment officers here first and foremost. They (Deployment Officers) do not do this for a living. In reviewing, when they receive PO / SWAT applications which are not as guide-lined, this waste both the DO's time & applicants'. So, read the PO guidelines properly, go one by one, line by line, with clear background, proper camera angles, & in high res as required. Also, get your 501st clearance first step, 2nd is PO, then SWAT. Commenting/ rather "criticizing" unnecessarily in people's threads doesn't help really.

henselmonster Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 TD2190 is a Legion member approved by the UKG, but he has not requested 501st access or Sandtrooper access yet. Just to clear that up. He is perfectly eligible to apply for PO (granted he places his 501st forum access soon). All the DOs are asking for is updated photos of certain pieces of the armor. Once he does that and re-opens his application the approval process can proceed. Its all in his court right now! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutchy Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Well said and we'll see what path he'll decide to go. We are here to help him just as long as he accepts our guidance into the dirty world of the police officer or SWAT officer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
