I've been around.

Just got a new trench coat and saddlebags recently, so figured it was a good time to ask for deployment. This armor is probably almost 10 years old and I originally bought my TS used off another 501ster 3 years ago who was easily half a foot shorter than me, so the trench coat always ended higher up above my boots - just below the back of my knees when I was trooping. So it didn't hang at the correct length it should have. They also had smaller saddle bags with one solid loop like the Boba Fett pouches. That's how I had been trooping up until recently.
In November I got a new trench coat sized to me and correct saddle bags right along with the 4 guys whose posts asking for deployment are right below mine in this forum (6778, 62946, 9317, 5156). Figured since they were building suits as a group, it was a good time to finally do the upgrades I've been needing. Since they'd be the guys I'd be trooping with the most, I wanted to look more like them to the public, even though my armor was a different vendor than theirs. I weathered my armor a bit heavier on the same day those 4 weathered their own suits, so we'd look more uniform while trooping. Here's a pic of all 5 of us the first time all 4 of the new guys got together with me to troop a couple weeks ago:
