Pickles

Way to go Eric!

lol, not necessarily, but perhaps a typical outcome of pub-consumed beverages?

There is a tradition in the Canadian Garrison that you are not allowed to pick your own nickname. It is given to you. A name may be nominated but it must be supported by two other CG members. Typically the names come from random inspired actions/events. It's common for our garrison to go out for dinner and drinks after a troop and the gents and ladies of the Canadian Garrison stared noticing my love for dill pickles. Many incriminating photos ensued. Also, without warning, my handle here on FISD was "mysteriously" changed to "Pickles" (looking at you Eric!). hahaha Photoshopping followed shortly thereafter... hehe

I ended up choosing AM because of my hip/thigh size. I believe the size difference between AP and RS is next to negligible.

I only recall seeing donation requests once since I've been a member.

Time for more FISD donations me thinks.

Hahaha, yes. I was tired of those Scouts always showing off their sittiness. It is pretty hard on the armor though. I don't baby my plastic.

Rumors from where? Edit, found this: http://screencrush.com/star-wars-episode-7-trailer-attached-avengers-2/

Congrats William!

The article almost lost me with the claim that we hate SW, but I read on and found myself shaking my head in bemused agreement. I wonder what the author would have to say about Rebels. I find myself enjoying it despite the fluff.

Hiya Eliza! Welcome to FISD. I'm 5'8" and have the AM lite kit (lite = w/o the AM bucket, I went with AP as it's a little more accurate). The armor has plenty of chest room, for a B cup anyways. You can poke through the photos in my troop log (see link in signature) to see how it fits on my frame. I had to modify the chest to get EIB status. I hope you have fun as a TX but nothing beats the sheer impressiveness as a group of uniform shiny whites! lol Cheers!

<3 the Ramsey's!

I put a square of eva foam on the inside knee of my sniper plate, mostly because the pinching from walking around at C6 ended up drawing blood.

Getting there Rod! I had also though about painting the rivets before attaching them but ultimately ended up not doing that and used white nail polish on them afterwards.

/facepalm

Sorry for the loss of your friend. I don't like people wearing my bucket for a couple reasons: - they don't grasp how much time and money goes into it and typically rough handle it. - the damn thing has had my sweaty head in it for hours on end. To me that's like someone wanting to try out your mouth guard. - My bucket is AP and typically too small for the average cranium (so it seems). Sounds like you have a bunch of closed minded people giving you a hard time. If you feel it's worth it you can explain or show them the good that the Legion does for charities around the world. If not then do your best to disregard the 'haters'.

I was actually just talking about this with Eric not too long ago as I love my AM kit but it is a bit big on me. I'm 5'8" and 200lbs. I'd like to find a kit that fits a little better. ---------

Hah! That's cute.

Coming along nicely Rod!

She really took a shining to Eric at FanExpo! we have an 'in'! lol

Right?! lol, cause we aren't warm enough in our current armor.

So awesome!!!!

Yes, Happy Thanksgiving to you wonderful Americans! (even if you are a month late with the holiday, hehehehehehe)

Yes, what exactly is flocking? In my world (water treatment) flocking is what a clarifying agent does. I mean, sure I could just google it but I'd rather have this conversation
