Zebedee's Troop Log

[zebedee[TK]]

Wow, what a year!  I joined the legion in February, with my first troop on Valentines, and it's been amazing!  I'd dreamed of being a stormtrooper since I was little, but the reality of trooping with the UK Garrison, and the 501st Legion was much better than I could have dreamed.  I've done over 50 troops in my first year (luckily I was able to do over half with my wife), and cleared three costumes.  The highlights for me;

 

Legoland Windsor; we've been so many times as fans, but being there on May the 4th and doing the parade was just awesome. 

 

  

 

We did the Space Spectacular at the Royal Albert Hall (London) and got to stand in squads while they played the Star Wars theme. 

 

   

 

Lots of highs and a few lows; Attending The Force Awakens premiere at London Leicester Square with about a hundred of my comrades in arms, and getting my new armour branded was a great feeling.

  

 

We were lucky enough to troop at a couple of troopers wedding this year, and also attended the funeral of two twins who died from cystic fibrosis.

 

  

 

But by far the most important and the surprise for me was doing a couple of hospital troops in the children's wards, and bringing the smiles to some very poorly kids. That's got to be the reason we do this

 

  

 

Without doubt, what makes trooping in this club so good, is the cameraderie and the friendliness of all who take part.  No matter how hot or uncomfortable you are, you know the other troopers are standing there with you, and that we'll get the job done. 

 

Looking forward to another year in the Legion.
