From the DL

 

August is certainly the time us Americans as well as Europeans take off for vacation.  There are no major holidays (US at least), the kids are out of school, and everyone seems to be outdoors.  For the 501st that means a very busy trooping calendar, and for your FISD staff we are no exception.  This month's newsletter is pretty light and there hasn't been much progress on our initiatives.  With the cooler weather returning in the Autumn and the return of regular schedules, here is what to expect for the fall quarter on FISD:

 

CRL Updates

Magma, HWTv2, and the R1 deployed troopers are all moving to MEPD. We'll help them get those to done as best we can, as they started here and want to assist our dirty brothers.

HWTv1: I went through it and we'll probably change some wording to ensure it's clear this CRL is only for the original game, not the new ones.

R1 TK: We'll get this done on a big push. All we are waiting on now is photos and someone to submit their fully built suit.

TFA TK & Phasma: We'll get EI & Centurion standards squared away.

 

Merch

A SpecOps/FISD joint coin design should be complete, and also watch for a new regular coin run as we are out of EI coins.

 

Forum updates

The goal is to fix the EI/Centurion list page and also provide a real-time list of Attaches.

 

Honestly, I think that will keep everyone busy for the fall but we are always looking for good ideas.  What do you think the staff should be working on the rest of the year?


With unquestioned loyalty,

COMPETITIONS

 

                                                                                              :smiley-sw013:         2 New Contests!    :smiley-sw013:

 

We have 2 new contests open...  One for those who already have their 501st TK approval, and one for those who are in the process of building their first set of armor.

Entering is easy, and there is some cool swag to be given away.  Both contests end at the end of August, and the winners will be selected by our Imperial Attache team.

For more information, here are the links to the threads:  Good luck!

 

                                                                                 For those who are approved TKs

 

                                                                           For those who are currently building a TK

2017 EIB "March to 1000" Campaign 

 

As many of you are aware, the FISD is currently in our March to 1000 program.  Our goal is to reach the one thousand mark of Troopers who have earned their Expert Infantry Badge, and although we are well on our way to this goal, we only have 5 months left to successfully reach it.  The amount of approved submissions is increasing (almost 80 this year alone) thanks to the dedication of those willing to go the "extra mile" toward screen accuracy.  

 

Here is a brief description of EIB as written by Paul (Daetrin), our founder:

 

"Expert Infantryman status is not required for members of this detachment. It should be viewed as an optional set of requirements for those who wish to take the accuracy of their costumes to the next level, and be recognized accordingly. We're a costuming club - think of it as an award for costuming excellence and you get the picture.

The requirements will not replace or supersede 501st standards, but only serve as an inspiration for the level of accuracy that can be achieved. The standards are meant to be high but achievable..."

 

Besides the added pride you will have in your armor, those reaching this level can purchase exclusive EIB gear (patches, decals, etc.) and get a free certificate for your accomplishment.  If you are interested or would like more information about the program, there is a link below** that will help.  You can also contact myself or any Imperial Attaché, and we will be more than happy to assist you!

Another nice issue everyone.  This has certainly been a very busy season for many of us.  I know of the vast amount of troops for the Empire City Garrison this summer and I'm sure most garrisons are in the same boat.  Enjoy the rest of the season everyone, as summer here in the US is coming to a rapid close.
