Dude, dont put up with that! Take action now!
Congrats! I'll be curious how you decide to size your bracelet. Get some Cheapest NATO Strap orders going!
Does your bracelet have a micro adjustment?

I did buy one nato to try out before I buy more, I might wear it tomorrow to see how it feels. It does have 2 micro adjustment slots on the clasp but the links are almost half links so it shouldn’t be too hard to get a good fit. They are screw in links so I could try to size it myself but don’t want to mess it up..
Has anyone changed links with screws vs pins?
I did mine. It was a bit rough because I had an Amazon special quality watch kit. Ended up putting a little heat to the links and they came right out.
I sized my bracelet myself - screwed links. I used a very precise jewelers screwdriver, a good work light, a Lupe, and patience. It wasn't terribly difficult..the right tool is what made it (swiss jewelers screwdriver set belonging to @mad dog )
@mad dog what brand Swiss screw drivers was it? There’s sooo much crap out there it’s hard to find the quality ones.

The uniform police will be laying in wait, ready to pounce, if @mad dog puts even a single toenail over the line at one of those AOCS reunions... but somehow I don't think the Demerit King is afraid.
