Grey Ear-piece cover bar poll

Post by TKvanB »

<FONT FACE="Verdana,Arial" SIZE=2>I am trying to figure out how many of those little lines I should put on the small, rectangular, now-painted-grey ear piece screw covers. <br>The directions say that the number of lines identifies which garrison you are in (or something like that).<br>Does the Midwest garrison have and established number of lines in a particular order? <br>Or is it just up to every single trooper as to how many lines they feel like putting on their little grey square thingies? <br><br><br>This is probably the last thing I will do to the helmet, so it might be a few more days until I reach this curtial stage. <br><br>Please comment as to the particular order of the lines as well. <br>Such as, 2 lines only, both towards the front....or<br>....one on the first and third rigde staring from the back....or<br>....four on the left side and none on the right...........& so on.<br><br>I don't want to show up with all of the lines in the "wrong" places and everyone else in trooper-dom pointing and whispering and snickering behind my back-plate. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :eek --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... ns/eek.gif ALT=":eek"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br>Vote now! </FONT><FORM method=post action="http://p083.ezboard.com/fmidwestgarriso ... ic"><table border=0 cellpadding=3 cellspacing=0 width="55%"><tbody><tr><td><input type="radio" name="choice" value="1"><FONT FACE="Verdana,Arial" SIZE=2>1</FONT></td></tr><tr><td><input type="radio" name="choice" value="2"><FONT FACE="Verdana,Arial" SIZE=2>2</FONT></td></tr><tr><td><input type="radio" name="choice" value="3"><FONT FACE="Verdana,Arial" SIZE=2>3</FONT></td></tr><tr><td><input type="radio" name="choice" value="4"><FONT FACE="Verdana,Arial" SIZE=2>4</FONT></td></tr><tr><td><input type="radio" name="choice" value="5"><FONT FACE="Verdana,Arial" SIZE=2>none</FONT></td></tr></tbody></table><P><input type=submit value="Vote"></form><a HREF=http://p083.ezboard.com/fmidwestgarriso ... s=on><FONT FACE="Verdana,Arial" SIZE=1>Show results</FONT></A> <p></p><i></i>

Relax Kathy, the current train of thought is rank. The more bars the higher the rank. I have all four on mine. Makes no difference to anyone how many bars you have. <p></p><i></i>

I have one. I enjoy ranking low! Just ask 826 who outranks me in the video game I've been playing since it's birth 6 months ago which I introduced him to a few weeks ago. <br><br>Did that sound bitter....sirs?<br><br>BTW-Kathy, did your armor come with stickers for the lines? When I repainted mine I used black car pinstriping (used when pinstriping black cars, ha-ha). If you don't have stickers, that might be easier than painting. <p></p><i></i>

<br>My armor came with the stickers. <br><br><br>Geez, I wish <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><i> this</i><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> would be the most difficult part in putting the armor together <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :| --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... ferent.gif ALT=":|"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :rolleyes --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... s/eyes.gif ALT=":rolleyes"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br><br> <p></p><i></i>

Wow. <br><br>I got to this part today. I decided to go with 2 on each side towards the front. <br><br>I didn't want to have too high a rank. Then I would have to look more responsible. I didn't want to have too low a rank, because then I would be suckered into doing a lot of grunt-work. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br> <p></p><i></i>

I noticed on an original ANH helmet that only the back one was black so I went that way. BTW, I also posed this question to Albin before I put mine on and he said: <br><br>Mark - <br>We don't have a pattern or consensus at this time - everyone just designs their helmets the way they like for now. If we'd started something earlier then maybe it would've worked but enforcing that now is impossible. <br><br>- AL <br><br><br><br>Just my two cents.<br><br>Mark Baker <p><img border="0" src="http://pages.sbcglobal.net/blastbbc/_ui ...
