Nice!

Great newsletter! awesome troop photos!

I am a follower of our facebook page and the activity is almost non-existent. We definitely need to amp it up a bit. This is a "fan" page that we have. It is the same style page that the garrisons and other detachment pages have. It is geared towards the general public more so than an internal source for us but we should ALL follow it and have fun with it. Some things I would like to see on facebook: 1) Create a photo album of our EIB troopers. Post one here and there weekly giving a shout out and be sure to tag the troopers garrison in it. It will bring more attention to our page from that garrisons members/followers. The EIB photo album should be titled with a description something like " Expert Infantry - the best looking troopers in the galaxy " or something catchy that the public can easily grasp. This would be a fun way to bring attention to the program and hopefully inspire peoples interests and motivate more troopers to go for the award. 2) Post photos and activity of our Fireteams. Be sure to tag the garrisons that they are a part of too. This will bring more attention and hopefully create more of a buzz about the FISD Fireteams throughout the legion. 3) a costuming tip/build of the week is a great idea. 4) absolutely 100% we should be sharing posts from the 501st facebook page to show our comradeship with the rest of our amazing legion. 5) We should be posting the lastest SW news too. Content about the movies, cartoons, toys etc. It is tragic that we haven't even celebrated the return of the stormtrooper in the upcoming rebels cartoon publicly (THAT IS HUGE!).... Even with the highly criticized look from our standpoint of the cartoon trooper ..... this is big and people are very excited about it. 6) create an album of the FISD trading card images and post them weekly with a tag of the garrison....giving a shout out to the trooper. People love trading cards and images of them when they are posted on line. 7) Post things like " The differences between ANH troopers and ESB, ROTJ armor details. Use photos to point out areas that are different. People find it actually fascinating that there is a difference between them after talking to me about it. It would seem interesting to the general public I think... 8) post photos of the other white trooper costumes (TKC, INC etc..) with info on the characters origin/appearance in the SW universe Facebook is HUGE and highly visible to the world. We need to really get it going more so than we currently do. These are some of my ideas. As far as twitter goes.....I suggest we have the facebook and twitter accounts joined so that when we post on facebook...it automatically goes out on twitter too. This will save the time of the one who is working our social media end and it will get a lot of content out there for our twitter followers. I am the PRO for the IGC. I launched the Imperial Gunnery Facebook page only last year and we have over 1000 followers already. Here is a link to the page and you can see some of the stuff I do. All of our posts automatically go up on twitter too... https://www.facebook.com/imperialgunnerycorps I also created a Fireteam liberty page. I haven't done as much activity on this one as much I as want to....I'm actually in the process of appointing one of our troopers to work the social media end for our fireteam so this page can get going more... https://www.facebook.com/libertyfireteam

you look great. Good luck!

Will do Sam. I'm running around working right now...but I will hit you up tonight

I am pushing our new troopers to the ECG to go for EIB/centurion for sure. From what I see.....there is not enough awareness towards the programs on a big enough scale outside of the forum Troopers that dive into the FISD forum hardcore do learn about them (EIB&Centurion)....but I also know troopers that have signed up on this forum....got their armor... built it.....got legion approved and didn't know about the programs (I'm sure it is do to their lack of research too)..... I have a suggestion.... I think we (FISD) should use social media more to promote the EIB program than we do. For example..... celebrate troopers that get the EIB awards by announcing them and posting photos of them on our facebook, twitter, and I just noticed we have an instagram account. Talk about the EIB program on our social media more...... make it seem that the standard is to be EIB if you're joining the legion to the public. It seems the world is living and learning off this social media stuff nowadays..... I've used social media a lot promoting my bands and have gotten great results. I'm also the PR guy (handling all gunner social media too) for the gunner detachment. If any of what I said above makes sense to the staff or if anybody on the PR team is open to suggestions.....I have some.

congrats!

Awesome. Congrats!

Congratulations!
