Thank you both! I will definitely keep everyone updated. Best Regards, CB

Hey Ian! how crazy is this!?! I too just posted today, from WS, and commissioned the exact same armor set from RS. Looking forward to meeting you sometime in the future! Im happy to share any of my experiences with you, and hope you'd be willing to do the same. Regards, -CB

Hello everyone. Wow! What a mind shock at reading everything from the 501st, Whitearmor, Garrison Pages, Armor builders.. nuts. I am 44, father of 4 boys, (Future troopers, well maybe one Sith to be honest), and much as many of us, a huge Star Wars fan. Since I saw that you can actually BUY an authentic replica set of armor from SDS, I have been working diligently to get on board. Over the past many months, I have learned that SDS may not work out for me. The thought of signed armor was the highlight, and I may still utilize some help from contacts in Mexico to acquire a set, however in the mean time, I have settled on a full ABS set from RS Props. I do have a few questions, but first I will indicate where I am in the fulfillment of this dream to be a fellow StormTrooper. I have read all the info from the starting posts on the 501st: I have then found several sets of armor, and as mentioned, settled on RS. I have read through.. thoroughly, (many times lol), the path to take which ultimately led to this post, from the new member application guidelines and faq's here: https://databank.501st.com/databank/Join_Us And now I am introducing myself, in hopes to better help me locate the proper Garrison and liaison. Hi! So, now I am down to my questions.. I reside in Winston Salem, NC. USA. Identifying the contact list for the contact looks to be the Carolina Garrison.. http://www.carolinagarrison.net/ Yet, I am unsure exactly whom to contact. There are 21 different contacts there, and unfortunately they've abbreviated their titles/ranks, hence, I am asking for assistance in my intro. Next I will assume, once, I receive my armor, I will be able to submit the photos, links, and hopefully... move into the ranks officially with the rest of the FISD. (Btw, it was at this point I realized my screen name here included a TK number which... was done on accident, and I am happy to change it if necessary.) Nonetheless, So about me: Craig, 44, Father, I work in the medical industry. I travel frequently. Love Star Wars. LOVE. I have a gift from my girlfriend which is an ID bracelet but with Vaders helmet etched into it. I have created a gaming and video room specifically for the boys n I to enjoy movies (star wars themed of course). I am a degree holding engineer. Love to build things, metal, wood, electronic. So.. I am thrilled to begin and get going with realizing this childhood dream. Thanks for taking a min to read. Future Trooper, CB
