For being approved in the 501st then I know from personal experience that the RS is almost guaranteed (I have to say almost because I don't want to lie and having it held against me, if they would have screwed something up) to get approved in the 501st! I did work to get to Centurion but it wasn't all that much!

RS currently are pausing the new orders since they focus on a certain limited edition helmet right now, so if you are thinking about getting the RS armor then you'd have to wait a little bit and keep an eye on their website for when they accept new orders!

Wow Bart, this story is amazing! Coming full circle in the end dispite the hardships and fighting mental health problems is incredible! Good job Bart, you look amazing! That last part really nails the feelings I too had in the beginning, feeling insecure like I wasn't "really" a Stormtrooper - but everyone else (including other Stormtroopers) sees a real Stormtrooper! All of a sudden we go from "Star Wars fan" to being a real Stormtrooper and from that moment on we are a part of George Lucas legacy and become "caretakers" of the mighty Stormtroopers that once made you smile and want to take a photo, now you do that to others. (Stormtroopers still makes me smile and want to take a photo of course ) Being a part of one of the organizations responsible for people's experiences of Star Wars in real life is the best feeling in the world to me. Really glad to have you with us Bart! And thank you for showing a great example on why troopers should be helping troopers!

Congratulations William!! Amazing news, welcome to the ranks trooper! Can't wait to see what our new member looks like suited up!

One thing that I found was very nice was to go over what all the different roles are in the detachment and what purpose they serve! By going over the "Common FISD Acronyms and TK Glossary". I personally also read all the links that the GML sent me to get some grip of the whole organization (501st Legion) and what it means to be a part of it!

Hello and welcome! When you get approved by your Garrison GML you will get one of the ID's that you chose from the list of available ID's. Then when you get your ID and approved in the legion then you can request access here by posting the link to your 501st record. If you're unsure about how to find this 501st record, use this link below, replace 12345 with your ID: https://www.501st.com/members/searchresults.php?searchfield=12345&criteria=tkid When you have done this you will get promoted to 501st Stormtrooper on the forums and can now enjoy the benefits that this gives you, like being eligible to enter merch runs, FISD competitions and so on. Next up I'd say would be - TROOPING! Get on your Garrison forum and look up the events page to see which events are in your area (or find the correct Facebook group/chat) and sign up and meet other troopers, and just enjoy being a Stormtrooper that puts smiles on peoples faces! Your GML that approves you can guide you to the right place look for events if you are uncertain, and also invite to any potential Garrison chat! You could take your forum-game one step further and scour build threads, and help future troopers by sharing your experiences from your own build, or study the intimate details of the armor and maybe one day become a Deployment Officer? If you find that you love helping out on here, you could potentially become an Imperial Attaché and help people take on the same journey as we all have done by bringing new future troopers to our forum! If you have any ideas on anything we are all ears! If you want you can also take your build one step further and apply for our Expert Infantry program and come one step closer to screen accurate, and join 1060+ others in the march to 1500 approved as Expert Infantry! I've done this myself and for me it was one of the most exciting things I have done in this whole Stormtrooper journey! Let us know if you have any further questions!

Enjoy your new banner @Starkiller

Makes me incredibly saddened to hear this. He was someone I looked up to before joining the 501st legion and watched his YouTube videos a few years before I got my armor. I have a troop tomorrow, but in my mind it's now to honor Dan and all he did for our community! Sadly I never got to meet him, would have loved to, but I've heard about what a great guy he was and I send all possible condolences to his family and his friends! Remember to hug your loved ones <3 Buckets off

Welcome to the FISD! How far along are you in your build?

...And the second and third and so on and so on

Hello Derek and welcome! Do you have any troops planned for the future? The first time is always extremely exciting!

Welcome Dryden!

"Everything is proceeding exactly as I have foreseen" - Papa Palpatine Hello and welcome Zachary!! How excited are you to join the dark side? Don't hesitate to reach out and especially start your own build thread where you can post images of your progress and get near instant feedback from our experts here on the forum! https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/forum/80-anh-build-threads/ When posting images on the forum, we normally use Imgur for uploading and hosting the images and then we insert the uploaded image here on the forum! Here is a how-to: Below you'll find a very helpful All-In-One compilation of various resources for ANH Stunt Stormtrooper builds

Hello and welcome Vasco! It's awesome that you are starting your journey at just 20 years old!

Yes true I was thinking this as I wrote it, the little mic that your get with the speaker system takes up noise from everywhere pretty much since it is so small, and this mic I'm using is more directed, however I have done tests with and without the puffy material and it does eliminate potential feedback from having the volume very high, and prevents the voice changer from activating on small noises and things (ofc since it breaks up "wind" as you say)!

The feedback depends on what mic you use, and I can turn up my volume to the max, because I have a mic from an old headset that I've used to game with, and it has a puffy thing so it doesn't bleed into the mic again! I've struggled with feedback before but changing the mic did the trick for me! I also used some pipe unsulation tape inside the helmet to help a little bit with the sound - but I doubt that this did anything really, I just think the mic was the big thing! On my troops I've been able to be super loud compared to other troopers but that doesn't speak for the technology they are using! I definitely recommend what I'm using though! Just use a different mic and the feedback shouldn't be an issue and you can turn up the volume so loud that your ears bleed https://imgur.com/a/SlkUJLf Here are a few clips from the Mandalorian premiere here in Sweden, we didn't want to scare the people coming to the event so it is set on a medium to low level, perfect for people to hearing "something" in the distance, and when they're talking to you it is perfectly fine!

I have the iComm and then the Stormtrooper Audio System from ukswrath where the mic tips are the speakers! Everything fits inside the helmet and makes for a very convenient solution!

Hello Brandon! Wooow great and exciting initiative straight from the beginning! Welcome!!

Already looking neat! Good job! For extra crisp photo editing when taking pictures next to a background like that, remember to not be too close to the background as it can "bleed over" onto your armor! Hint hint But also hint hint (the EIB honor gallery image + potential trading cards in the future?)

Hello Gary! Huge congratulations on completing your TK and finally getting approved! Excited to see your applications for the higher levels! "Everything is proceeding as I have foreseen"

Congratulations!!! Welcome!

I'm very excited to see what this month will bring in form of entries to the banner competition as well as some nice chats on the Discord server! Thank you everyone for all the hard work!
