Hi

[Atreyu]

Hi I met Darth Acroyear at my work and was talking to him about joining the 501st. Me and my dad have been looking into it for some time, but never knew about having a garrision close by. I leave for thee army on November 26th, but I would still LOVE to join. I have grown up around Star Wars all my life. I LOVE it!!! Oh and my name is Kirk, and I am 19. Thanks.

Hey Kirk - I'm glad you posted! I met you in Richmond as well. This group is great and keep an eye out for a chance to meet up with some of us at one of the events or meetings. Hopefully you will still have internet access once in the Army and can get to know some of us online :)

[Atreyu]

Yeah I remember you. What is the first thing I need to do about trying to join?

[My Only Fettish]

You should check out the official 501st home page--it is very specific on how to join. :) Here is the link for joining requirements:

My brother's name is Kirk--you are the only other person I've met with that name! Cool! :)

[Atreyu]

Thx. I have never met anyone wit my name.

Where might the best place be to obtain a storm trooper costume?

We cannot discuss openly where to get armor since it is not supposed to be open to the public to sell. We are, after all, wearing copyrighted material. They come in kits and should be assembled by the person that is wearing it. If you have more questions feel free to private message any of the command staff or myself to get more info.
