No the jumpsuit, the jumpsuit these guys look like the nerdy guys my sister dated. YIKES! Did you ever see Burt Reynolds in Cannonball Run? If you HAVE to go 70's copy Burt!

Ph1l2007 QUOTE "Stormtroopers are battling some kind of mercinary / pirate gang. Lots of collateral damage. One stormtrooper takes it upon himself to rescue a child about to be crushed by debris. Or something along those lines " You forgot the attractive single mom/big sister of rescued child. :zam: Who makes a cameo appearance for 3 episodes until her "lost/MIA/dead husband/"True Love" :luke3: is rescued/found by ....the same noble Stormtrooper or his squad members/best friends. There is ALWAYS a love triangle.

As a mom I cringe at eat 4 whoppers a day . My suggestions Eat protein and carbs for breakfast. Eat 4 light meals a day. Use REAL butter. Eat bread at EVERY meal. Take a quality multi-vitamin. Carbo load before you exercise. Real cream in your coffee. REAL ice cream for desert or between level/stages game night refuels. After you have reached your weight, cut down the bread, cream, ice cream. I'm not a diet doctor just a mom.

I saw a belt piece confuse a little girl (3-4 year old) one time. She looked at his belt and told him " your cell phone is on " pointing to his belt

How could I ever forget... The hanger bay, Han screaming and ALL the blaster fire! WOW! Cool armor AND Heavy duty weapons ...I was hooked.

You should make a trooper's manual, a copy of regulations, trooping orders or something like that. Just let it "fall" out of your backpack or something. James Bond has nothing compared to you! I work in a copy center and the guys I work with LOVE to do stuff like this! Keep a record of all of this and when your nephew has kids you will have the BEST baby gift ever! Congrats on creating a wonderful family legacy.

Still lifting you and yours up in prayer. Take care and mend.

Happy Easter Guys!

Sooooo have you submited your app to the 501st ???

Remember dear to drink lots of water. Drinking water helps the meds get to where they need to go AND stay off a urinary tract infection. Try a moist hand towel warmed in the microwave for about 20 secs for back spasms. And under NO CIRCUMSTANCES do you touch one piece of armor until your doc AND your Mrs. says go Young Man! You can fool your doc... you can even in rare occasions fool your wife...but it is highly unlikly you can fool both at the same time. If anyone gives you grief about their order....PM me I'll make'm wish their momma had taught them manners. Please rest easy and mend.

WOW! Now I know someone FAMOUS!!!! Can I have your autograph please!

Your kit is precious to you. You have spent many hours of research, obtaining pieces,assembling, and polishing to make your kit your own. Now 1.How do you store your gear? clean old socks for the smaller pieces and a old thin blanket? hand made fleece sacks? packing wrap and bubble wrap? and for your helmet? bubble wrap and a cardboard box? a military helmet bag? bubble wrapped 2. What do you store your gear in? Plastic trunk? Plywood with metal top trunk? military grade footlocker? Wooden boxes? 3.What have you wish you had NEVER stored your gear in? read "Do Not Store your gear in..." 4. How do you secure it when going trooping? A trusted person must stay with your stuff/personal effects the whole time In the trunk of my car with the car alarm on! padlocked in fellow trooper's car trunk. chain and padlock/key lock in clear sight at ALL times motion sensor tossed in with your gear? or perhaps... a rabid tasmainian devil with key fob enabled shock collar (of which you have the only fob!) My hubby had to guard the costumes/sabers and my son's full kit the entire time from a couple of per"SITH"tent 12 year olds. They even tried to check out the empty bags and cases in the changing room! Grrrrrrrr! but because of it I thought of a funny. It wasn't courisity that killed the cat... it twas a cause the cat was trying to mess with his kit!

OHHHHH SWEET TEA! The Chik-fil-a sweet tea is the BEST! I use to drive 30 minutes for their sweet tea. now I have one down by the mall. (5 mns tops) Road trip for a gallon of SWEET TEA ! Whooooo hoooooo!

Gentlemen if I may intrude into this topic as a mom to a soon to be 501st member (and a wife) Take your wife with you when you troop to the children's hospital (or any event with kids for that matter) The look from those children as you walk into their room is priceless.

It would be so helpful to see the helmets together (front and side pics). It would help me to understand the differences in the helmets. Thanks
