bobcat_justin Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 Hey I'm new here to the site well not really new but just never really posted anything before. But due to a series of events that happend to me here in the army I have had the worst time of my life. To start I got scamed 1500 usd when selling my gaining laptop on ebay so I could buy armor. I went to every lane possible to try to resolve the issue but in the end the ny state police said It was a lost case. I go to my Co workers house party because she just got married at about 1130 at night after coming back from a haunted house with my battle buddy and his wife. So I'm at this party I'm 21 I drink she's the only one from my unit I know the rest of the people there where strangers to me, but I sleep on their living room couch at about 3am the MPs are there shining a flashlight in my face to wake me up. I explained that I was invited and stayed only because I didn't want to drive my car back to my barricks and risk a dui duh. The MPs then began to question if I provided them the booze for the party they had going on, first off I had 45 cents in my bank account and a recite from the haunted house I came from. They tried so hard to charge me with something but in the end comes to find out it was a domestic violence call between my Co wokers and her god awful shucksy dunk woman beating husband. Tubs out him and his friends tried to say I started the party and got them the drinks. Like wtf but of corse thank god it could not be proven because there was no evidence at all and the fact that I didn't to any thing wrong that night. Now this is where it gets really stupid so my mother has cancer and I am unable to see her due to my work and a possible upcoming deployment so I have not been able to sleep at night. Like no sleep at all for 3 days in a row because my head is just filled with regret and I'm worried for my mom. I go to my battlebubbdys house explain everything to him and he let's me come over anytime I want so I'm not feeling alone. I take him up on his offer after all we are best friends at this point we did basic and ait togeather and now we are both here at Fort drum. So staying at his house only entertains me really I still can't go to sleep that being said I'm up for about 48 hours now at this point and I need to go back to my barricks. I didn't want to stay at their house for to long of a time I wanted to give them their privacy. So I stop by the px food Cort get dinner and a coffee and I sit it my car and just doze off thinking about a buck of different things and I wake up again. So right when I'm about to pull out of the parking lot you guessed it I hit someone as in their pickup truck a Ford f150 red. The damage was so minor though only a scratch on his paint and the same with mine so we don't even bother to trade information. But the MPs that arive claim that I was not making any sense of my words and that I seemed to be drunk. So they took me to the er the whole 9 yards blood draw and all, but yet still no evidence because I never did anything in the first place. My test came up negative but the MPS and the commander of my company both have reason to believe I was dwi so I can't go off post or drive my own car. I don't even have my keys, they say until the MPs get a blood test back from ny state police they can't do anything and that's going to take 6 to 9 months. All this load of crap and now I have to see asap because the army thinks I'm an drunk I go to pointless meetings while they are threatening to kick me out of the army. But in the meetings they said hey cose a hobby to get your mind off my "addiction" but I already know what I want to do. I want to join the 501st and help others like they do never in my life have I felt so alone or abandoned by my chain of command here at Fort drum. So I am seeking to join the 501st to get my mind off all this crap but I need armor. I know what you're thinking this is a scam or some made up crap but it's not its the full on truth I Justin Thomas Marling will stand by these words. I'm asking for anyone's help to get me 501st a proved armor I am willing to pay my tax returns come soon I'm sure we can work something out so please if you can make armor and you have some to spare sell it to me because I need to be in the 501st like time now.

Locitus[Admin] Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 You know there are cheaper and easier costumes you can get to gain membership? Like the imperial crewman, which is basically just a pair of jackboots, a jumpsuit and a hat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkrestonva[TK] Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 Have you looked here yet? http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/forum/38-getting-started-read-this-first/ FYI - this isn't a hobby that can be done on the cheap. You can expect to pay upwards of $1,000 for a 501st-quality stormtrooper costume. But like Mathias said, there are cheaper ways of getting your foot in the door - and until you can raise the funds, being a handler is FREE and a great way to start getting involved with the 501st. Also, you say you're at Fort Drum. That's in upstate New York, and in Garrison Excelsior territory. I recommend you also check in with them - there might be members nearby to you. http://www.garrisonexcelsior.com/index.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airborne Trooper[501st] Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 I am prior enlisted and from what I can tell, you need to talk to your post CID and your brigade legal. Don't think they can take your keys like that or punish you with UCMJ action without proof first. So glad I have my DD-214 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikedwelle94[TK] Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 (edited) Ask around for some broken or B-grade parts and make a Death Trooper costume. Edited January 14, 2016 by SolidScrafty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
