TKRalf[TK] Posted October 27, 2012 Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 I have done about 27 troops since I joined in December of 2011. With some cons and unofficial stuff here and there. Most difficult was SDCC this year; I went 8.5 straight hours in armor and took my bucket off only once to change batteries in the restroom. Needless to say I had a serious case of phantom armor later that night. O_o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnnfr72[TK] Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Yikes, Ralf! You went above any beyond in that 8.5 hours!!! I have done about 27 troops since I joined in December of 2011.

jnnfr72[TK] Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Look - the tall guy scrunched down so I wouldn't get "short trooper" complex. Mark's the best! [i'm straining for every extra centimeter I can get!] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectre Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 Been approved since March and have trooped far too little. Too much time spent trying to improve my armour...there wasn't much time after my approval that it was actually wearable so I only got to troop a few times. Best troop..can't really decide. They were al pretty fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor Az[TK] Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 Only one so far, but not approved yet. Soon, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK - Lisa[TK] Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 Thirteen so far in 2012. That's pretty good for our neck of the woods! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CureMode[TK] Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 (edited) 26 for me in TK, 2 Emperor, and 2 X-Wing with the RL. Have about 5 more scheduled this year, probably all will be TK. Broke 100 total earlier this year, so averaging about 30 or so per year.

Mongoose[TK] Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 I was just approved late this year. I've done 2 official troops, and one unofficial as just a test. Favourite one so far has got to be the first. Was at the Edmonton Expo. Think I was smiling the whole time inside my helmet. It was just awesome.

Laspector[TK] Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 (edited) I live in a small town. Pretty much any troop for me requires at least a two hour drive to get to the larger cities where most of my Garrison does their trooping. So for a long troop I am always looking at an all day affair of driving, trooping, and mostly having to stay the night. So I've only done three troops this year, but hoping to throw in a Christmas parade before the year is out. I can't imagine what it is like for those of you who can just jump in the car, drive a few minutes and be at a troop. It must be nice! For me, doing a troop is almost like having to plan a small vacation. I'm always having the problem of trying to find somebody to share the ride and cost, making sure someone can take care of my dog or kenneling her, reserving a hotel room or making arangements to sleepover at a fellow trooper's house, the drive back the next day, unpacking, etc.. It can be a hassle sometimes.....But on the other hand, it makes it feel really special when I do get to troop. For me it IS more like a small vacation instead of just 'what I get to do on the weekend'...At least that's the way I try to look at it.

When we were in central BC every troop was a trip. Made every one that much more special! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
