Dark PWF[Staff] Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 (edited) Obviously, as I don't have armor yet I wasn't trooping, but Saturday was my first 501st event and it was really a very rewarding and exciting experience for me. I acted as a photographer and a handler for some outside movements, and got to learn about some of the difficulties that you might have dependent upon the fit of your armor. I got to see, and handle some armor first-hand which was quite a nice thing, but mostly I got to see how people react and light-up when they see the 501st in action. I got to see how you can interact with children of different ages to help them open up and accept the big scary TK or SL as someone that is friendly. As personal experiences go, it was - as I said - very rewarding and only further cemented my already rock solid commitment to becoming a member of the 501st. My thanks to the Alabama Garrison leadership and members for asking some recruits to come along.

Dark PWF[Staff] Posted November 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 It's all good Kevin. I would have truly appreciated meeting you, but I did have a great time. More stoked than ever to receive my armor now. LoL... Matt was a boss as Vader, too. Definitely a great experience to break-in with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
