Totally off-topic, but what island do you live on, Guns? I was just in Maui -- Ka'anapaili -- this August and LOVED it. My second day there, I called my CEO and started reading from the "office space available" section of the classifieds. He wasn't havin' it. Anyway, I want to go back next summer-- maybe we could go get a beer or something. Currently I'm holed up in a little grass shack on the island of Oahu. There's another FISD member who's bound for Maui next year, perhaps the three of us could get together for some cold beverages of our choosing while conducting an on-beach bikini inspection... Just let me know when you're coming out and if my work schedule will allow it, I'll fly over and we can discuss the merits of helmet fans and the use of two-way radios in our buckets... T

Mike, Looks like you got a lot of inputs to go over. When I first started troopin' in 2004, I started out with a set of FX armor I purchased from a 501st member in Southern California. I was totally happy with it (bobble-head and all) until I ran across TK-409 's website. At that time, he was advertising "screen-accurate" armor and had several photos of his "TE" armor. Well, as they say...the rest is history. I absolutely love my TE armor (I've got two, TK and TD) AND yes, I did pay a pretty penny - which brings me to my point: This shared hobby of ours can become very expensive. However, each one of us decides on the type of armor we want and how much each one of us can afford. Each one of us decides what's acceptable (to us) and what standards we're aiming for. I'm probably one of the more "senior" troopers out here in the galaxy (over forty-five, married twenty-one years, loving wife who fully supports my SW passion, retired military, full time job, $3500.00 mortgage payments, two college kids, three dogs & five fish) so my "disposable" income might be a "tad" more than say a thirty year old husband-father. So I thank God for my blessings, that I am able to enjoy my chosen white armor, and that I can share my experiences with others who love stormtroopin' as much or more than I do...do what's right for you bro! (falls off backwards from the soap box...NEXT!) Aloha, T

FX. You seek FX. T

Oops... A belated Happy Birthday bro! Hope it was a good one. T

I got your back bro! T

Hey Mike, Is it better than this photo? T

TM rules! T

It almost looks like the rear section of the cap is raised up and tilted forward...giving him a massive forehead. My wife sez he looks like a "Neanderthal trooper." T

Please allow me to take this brief moment to thank all my fellow veterans here in the FISD for a job well done. Also, my prayers for protection and grace to all the men and women who are currently serving in our Armed Forces. Thank you for all your sacrifices in the name of FREEDOM. Have a GREAT holiday! Aloha and God bless, Anthony D. SAGUN MSgt, USAF (Ret)

Here's a little something I'll be posting on my future website...enjoy: "TE2 helmets should not be used for any contact sport. TE2 helmets should not be worn in lieu of motorcycle, scooter, or moped helmets. Do not operate any vehicle or any machinery while wearing TE2 helmets and body armor. TE2 helmets offer a limited field of vision. Always use a stormtrooper handler in well lighted locations. Never troop alone. Serious bodily injury or death may result from the misuse of TE2 helmets and body armor. TE2 helmets and body armor will not protect wearer from blunt object trauma. TE2 armor should not be used as a protective body covering against live ammunition. TE2 armor will only deflect an indirect Grade 2 laser blast of short duration. TE2 armor should not be used as a personal flotation device. TE2 armor should not be used as protection from tornado, hurricane, cyclone, or tsunami. Do not use during earthquake.

Do not use while sleeping or unconscious. Do not use in bath or shower. Do not use near fire, flame, or sparks. For display purposes only. If you do not understand, or cannot read, all directions, cautions and warnings, do not use this product." T

Oops...sorry, Santa Clara 49ers! T

It's still a crazy unpredictable market out there fellas. The rental house, built 1986, is located approximately 18 miles west of Honolulu in the city of Waipahu. The house we're living in now (with the "Man Cave" thank you very much) was built in 1968! But only 5 miles from downtown Honolulu...LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION. T

San Jose??? I love San Jose. Several years ago when Faye & I were in town we saw a house for sale that we really loved: Price tag? Only $650,000.00. At the time we said to ourselves...WHOA! We recently sold our rental house here in Hawaii for $518,000.00. Our present home is currently valued at over $700,000.00... Maybe we CAN afford San Jose, California. Forty-Niner football here we come baby! T ePS: Can't wait to see photos of the remodeled house.

Titanium subscription purchased. Great place you got here. Best wishes to all! Aloha, Tony & Faye SAGUN

A very beautiful bucket indeed! Thank you for sharing. T

I don't know if this topic belongs here or someplace else. Mods, please relocate if necessary... I'm sure I speak for the rest of the Pacific Outpost crew when I say that we're concerned about our fellow troopers in California. Take care of each other and let us know if there's anything we can do for you. **Mike aka TK-4510, best wishes buddy for you and the family. Check in with me when the opportunity arises! Worried about you dude! God bless, T

Hi gang, Does anyone know where I might be able to purchase the two (2) "gremblies" that are found the on rear of a ESB E-11 Blaster? T

I am very sorry to hear about your situation. Take care bro and like FITZ, I'll be praying for a brighter future ahead for you and the Mrs. Aloha, T
