    Glad to know I'm not alone here...

    Sometimes it's OK to take a break.
  4. You'll also want to register on the Garrison Titan boards (271) Garrison Titan - Garrison Titan as that is our local garrison. I'm in Seattle too, hope to meet up soon.
  5. Doesn't have to be that bad. We had like 3 SQL queries that made it about a 5 minute process. Also, once as a younger person, I wrote a desktop app that automated the Legion web site. I'd just get a list of IDs from the FISD database and it would automatically click the links for me. Good times. What I'm trying to say is if you are doing something manually, why? It should be automated and not take more than 15 minutes a year.
  6. Also, AFAIK, it's only ever used once a year and that is during detachment elections. So not much to-do until next cycle (which is why we only updated it annually), or am I missing something?
  7. Well done guys! It would be my privilege to troop with you someday
  8. Way to go Joseph! As you know being a DL is a marathon, not a race, and you've been training for this for years. I'm sure you'll be a stellar, amazing, and highly effective leader for this detachment. The fact that you ran unopposed is a testament to your dedication, and the positive relationships you've built throughout the years. Your contributions to FISD are noteworthy and of singular accomplishment. I can't wait to see what you do next. Seems like I'll need to go to FL for a staff breakfast in 2024!

    Ack - I need to get on one of these - I have Discord open all the time. :p
  10. In the past we did bulk updates to the both the forum database and Legion database via SQL queries and updates. I'm not sure who owns that process anymore, but it would be good to get that info transparent to avoid future confusion.

    I think we need a meme capturing and celebrating Andrew's FOUR TERMS in office as DL. One is quite exhausting, that he's hung in there this long and done an AMAZING job is quite notable, IMHO.
  12. Oooooooooooo, this will be awesome

    This hits hard.
  14. Article: https://www.looper.com/1490824/star-wars-90s-anime-ai Tiktok: Im super happy how this one came out, a few characters ive never done ... | Cad Bane | TikTok Looks pretty cool. Also, IMHO a bit more of the style of Attack on Titan. At some point, you know someone will do a true short film like this. Maybe not for 20 years, but it will happen eventually.
  15. I think the problem is thinking that there has to be *one* calendar. You can use a single printing for the US/Canada and then do a local printing say for the UK. I don't see why we need to put any country-specific holidays on it at all. @Nairy has an excellent point - just put some 501st/FISD/SW specific dates on it and call it good. Heck, you can even publish the PDFs and people can print them locally. They will never be as good as having a central print like we did before, but then people can customize the calendar part if they want, and it helps with shipping. Did you see the prices back in the day? They were very reasonable, now, not so much.
  16. OK, so this is the minimum bar that you need to it. It will be fun to watch how this staff exceeds this
  17. These thumbnails just don't do it justice. Also, I really dig the circular logo we used on the cover. Really nicely rendered.
  18. Below is a list of the photos that we did and why we did them the way we did them. I'm especially proud of a few things: 1) The quality of the production. I'm adding a link to the a folder that contains high def photos. If you zoom in you can really see the level of love & detail that was put into this calendar. 2) The December concept: we were running out of ideas (remember there were only 8 approved costumes back then) and rather than putting in filler, I had the concept of "looking back" like a high school yearbook. We solicited photos from troops that people attended, and I think the end result was an excellent job of putting them together beautifully to convey the joys of trooping with friends. 3) Not only did we want only the best costumes to represent the Legion, but we also wanted to showcase members from around the globe vs. just US based. 4) The back cover: we were able to get in every single person who made EI and Centurion, plus all the Achievement Award recipients, plus all the staff. I felt it was important to capture this moment in history for posterity. 5 years was a very big milestone at the time, considering how humble the detachment started. January: ANH (Jesse McClear, TK 4702, Great Lakes Garrison) February: ESB (Paul Hoeffer, TK 8020, Garrison Titan) March: Blasters (E-11 by TK 4702, SE-14R by Daetrin TK 8020) April: ROTJ (Alan Quick, TK 3066, Cloud City Garrison) May: HWT (Juan Morales, TK 4326, Puerto Rico Garrison) June: TKC (William Soltys, TK 6107, Badlands Garrison - Canada) July: INC (Steve Marle, TK 3862, French Garrison) August: BFGs (DLT-19 & Lewis Gun) September: Helmets, ANH, ROTJ, ESB October: DEATH (Brian Anderson, TK 7602, New England Garrison) November: SKY (Mason Carson, TK 4603, Great Lakes Garrison) December: High school yearbook concept, looking back at 5 years of FISD Link to a OneDrive folder with all the goodies: 2011 Calendar
  19. When it came to how the belt was allowed to look on the armor, it was OK if it wasn't perfectly horizontal or aligned, as there were numerous screenshots like the one below, where it wasn't perfect and certainly there are shots in the Tantive IV which show that the gap between the butt and kidney is not occluded. Is that still the case, or are GMLs no longer saying this is fine?

    Funny thing about that, Terrel Reber (SuperTrooper, RIP) noted once that his son could always pick him out due to how he rested his hands on his belt in a lineup, and I found that mine could do the same. I guess we each have our own "tell" in how we stand.
  21. Cool. I can post more detailed pix though if needed, esp. the last pages.
