Greetings Stormtroopers (to include gonnabes/wannabes/fans/groupies)!!
It has been a very busy month here at FISD; we've seen a lot of lively and spirited discussions on all things TK, including many troop reports, new costumes coming our way later this year (Rogue One Trailer), newly available armor kits being approved at the Centurion level, Merchandise designs and runs gearing up for this year, new CRLs being finalized (http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/36152-amazing-austins-5th-birthday/

Montreal's St-Patrick's Parade 2016
Hello troops,
We took part in the Montreal St-Patricks parade on Sunday March 20th 2016. This was our second years. Last year we were with the SPCA, this year, we were invited on our own. All three Star Wars were present; 501st, Rebel Legion and the Mandalorian Mercs.
Here are a couple of snapshots of the event.

White House Easter Egg Roll
Due to the nature of this event we had very strict instructions due to where it was and with the people involved. The biggest requirement was that since The Force Awakens Stormtroopers were requested and The Empire Strikes Back Darth Vader we could not be seen together.
We went through security and watched the rain that began on Sunday Night dreading going out and having a wet undersuit for 12 hours. The families came in groups and we had a schedule of specific times and events to follow. Bob and Charles worked their magic and interfacing with the Disney Group made it an incredible experience! The sun came out around 10am and from there it was a beautiful day!
We were told there was going to be a special event for the First Order TKs. About an hour before the event the FO TKs were to escort POTUS & FLOTUS. Security was very tight and we followed all their instructions and there were no falls, trips or disasters!
The picture sessions for both Vader and the Stormtroopers were overwhelming! It would start with 10 families and in minutes lines were 50 to 75 feet long and getting longer. We did between 30 to 45 minutes each session. Numerous celebrities were at this event wanting to get pictures with the Star Wars Characters. I give huge credit for Bob, Charles again in addition to the Volunteers for the event for keeping things flowing and having patience to deal with the crowds.
When it was over we were suited up for about 8 hours. We did strip the armor off for a precautionary bathroom and water break for an hour and walked around the grounds. It was an honor to have participated in such a fun day at the White House with all the families and the other different characters!
And on to the photos!

Ruben Santos or TK-34281 (you might know him as Crusader_6 here in the forums) is an ARMY veteran and for the last 4 years has been a Police Officer on the Puerto Rico’s Police Force.
When I asked him about his most memorable troop he told me that it was the visit that last Christmas the 501st had with members from the Puerto Rico National Guard to the My Little Joshua Foster home for kids, to give presents to the children. In his own words he told us:
“I was scared at first since we were dealing with small kids aged from 3-6 years old and usually they get scared with masked characters. I remember that I was the first to arrive at the Foster home and started talking with the caregivers and one of them told me that these children don’t have a family, the parents are either in jail or in rehab. These kids have lots of love to give ( and they do need some in return).
When we were in costume with the children, I got a bit choked up, but held my composure. At first one of the kids was afraid of us and didn’t want to come out. The gifts were given to the children by members of the legion and members from the National Guard. The children were happy that we were there, they wanted us to play with them. And remember that kid that was afraid? By the time we were almost done, she came out and started playing too.
I joined the 501st Legion for moments like this. I think that reception was good and I think they expect us again this year. For sure I will be there again”

We have heard you loud and clear, Troops! Yes, in just a few short weeks you will have the chance to order your own spiffy new FISD racing shirts, personalized with your screen name and TK number!
The price and shipping cost have yet to be pinned down exactly, but they should be right about the same as the last one, which was $30.00 for the shirt, $7.00 for Priority Mail shipping in the U.S., and $26.00 First Class for international, (based on one shirt) from the manufacturer. Exact numbers will be in the official post.
The complete list of information on this run will be posted on May 1st, and the run will last until approximately June 1st. Here are some sample questions you may be wondering about in the meantime, though:
1. I don't have my official 501st i.d. yet. Can I order one? - You must have your 501st approved TK or TD designation i.d. number to order one.
2. I am a TD, can I order one?- Yes, if you are 501st approved with a TD number.
3. Can I order one for my wife/child/handler?- Sorry, but again, you must be an approved TK or TD with a valid, up to date 501st Legion i.d.#. Sorry, no exceptions.
4. How long will it take once I order?- The payment will go to the manufacturer right after June 1st, so please allow up to 4 weeks for me to receive them and get them mailed out, and another week for the USPS to get them to you via tracked Priority Mail. International orders may get theirs sooner.
5. How will I know what size to order?- See chart size below.
6. Are there different colors available?- Sorry, but no.
7. Are these the same shirts as the last run? You bet!
And while you are waiting for the racing shirts to kick off don't forget that as 501st members you are entitled to an ongoing run of FISD T-shirt, tank-tops, and hoodies!
