From our Fl Garrison CO...
"As of now to put it simply Yes we will be called on but DON'T set up any troops at any theaters as those will
not be official at this time. We have to wait for LFL/Disney to make their move as most likely it will be a PR
event and will want us to staff certain locations.
And don't expect hearing what those are anytime soon!"
The bottom line is... DON'T PISS OFF THE MOUSE!!!

For a while now I can't seem to get the site to work correctly. It struggles to open and pages and/or threads and won't let me use the top bar when I try to post and include photos. Any thoughts? Even posting this didn't work the first time!

Here you go! I can see the mods already! Have fun boys and girls.

Welcome Rob! Make sure you do lots of research here before moving forward with your build. As others have said, it's a long but rewarding process. Take your time and ask for help from your local squad as well as here. Make sure you start a build thread and take lots of photos. Good luck on your build down under.

I use Meguiars PlastX and it works great! I was using it just to polish and clean at first then discovered some yellowing in a few sanded spots. It removed it quickly and I haven't seen any since. A little goes a log way and I've only polished my armor maybe 4 times in a year and a half. I use a dry washcloth to apply and a microfiber cloth to remove.

I couldn't fit my Memorex in my bucket which really stinks but what can I do. The cable to my chest isn't too much of a pain though.

Using your PTT is also good when you're trooping where there is a loud PA or music as any loud noise will trigger your ICOMM's static burst.

Good job! I hate ears! A pain they are. See you out trooping soon.

Thanks Mathias... I forgot to mention he was going for centurion and that's why I was asking.

My soon to be new squadmate (Barcode) is having a cover strip issue with his right rear strip. I'm not sure of the best way to fix it so I thought I'd throw it out there...suggestions?

The Tampa Bay Squad seems to be attracting a legion of 6' plus TKs lately! Make sure you do lots of research here
and welcome to the squad.

Thighs and forearms are turned out and need to face forward. Shoulder bells need to come forward as well. Hard to tell the fit with those items on wrong.

I was gonna recommend Photobucket as well...it's what I use.

Hey Matt, welcome to the TK corps and the Tampa Bay squad! I grew up in the Largo/Clearwater area as well and am currently helping Ben (Barcode) with his kit. I know it's a ways out but we just posted an armor party on Nov 9th by the St Pete/Clw airport. AP's are where we get together and build or help others with their stuff. Are turnouts usually hit about 15/20 people and would be a great place to not only meet lots of the squad but get help as well. You can send Jay a pm on our boards to let him know if you can make it.
-
Anthony, have you joined/spoken to the squad in your area? Chances are you can get help with your build from fellow squadmates and doing so will also save you some serious money. Besides, there's a lot of pride that comes along with doing the build yourself. Ask for help... it's out there everywhere whether it be here or from your local squad. Build threads are a plenty so do lots of research and take your time. I had no clue when I started and am now helping several noobs build their kits. Study, study,study... you can do it!!!

Wow... just read the entire thread. You should be very proud Jeff! Great work! Really cool to see the entire process end with a sweet bucket. Good for you dude!
-
You're at the biggest pain in a TK build... the dreaded "ear fitting!"
-
-
Welcome and good luck!
-
Wow Ben, 2 years exactly and you are on your way with a great set of ATA armor! Glad I could help "pop the cherry" on your box-o-plastic and get you moving toward your becoming one of us. Wish you weren't so damn tall though!!!
-
You beat me to it Max but I agree with everything you pointed out.
Ty, are you planning to come to the AP at Fritz's house Sunday? If so, we can get you buttoned up and fitted. It's difficult to do so alone and you need that second pair of eyes and hands to adjust and fit properly. Yeah, fix those thighs!
I wish you didn't have soooo much gap in your knees (especially your left one) and your right forearm looks really trimmed down and short (nothing you can do now).
How is your kidney/butt plate attached to each other? They should fit flush together.
Oh and good luck trimming those ears... they SUCK to do!!!

Hello Si and welcome to the group. I visited York several years ago and absolutely loved the area! I have a few relatives that live there (shot their wedding there) and hope to visit there again someday.

I'm using IE 11 and have been having trouble here for a while now. I can no longer post photos and most things won't open on the first click. Glad my armor was completed over a year ago and now just come here to poke around, keep updated and help others when I can.
