TK-7980 Posted October 31, 2008 Report Posted October 31, 2008 I was rereading the requirements for entry into the 501st and I must have overlooked one of the first rules: Are you over 18? Drat! No I'm not! I'm so let down right now, even though I've only got about a month to go before I'm 18, I'm too excited to wait that long! Quote
TK8280 Posted October 31, 2008 Report Posted October 31, 2008 thats no big deal Alex, its only a month Quote
Stomper Posted October 31, 2008 Report Posted October 31, 2008 I was rereading the requirements for entry into the 501st and I must have overlooked one of the first rules: Are you over 18? Drat! No I'm not! I'm so let down right now, even though I've only got about a month to go before I'm 18, I'm too excited to wait that long! Alex, The 18 years old policy is for legal/liability reasons... plus we hate anyone not old enough to vote in the political elections!! (just kidding) A month goes by pretty fast, and time goes by faster when you're in your 40's... like me! Quote
TK-7980 Posted October 31, 2008 Author Report Posted October 31, 2008 This isn't the first time age has been a gimp for me. I understand the whole legal issues thing though. Oh, what a woild! Quote
Schaf Posted November 1, 2008 Report Posted November 1, 2008 *lol* at least that is a problem that will solve itself Quote
Stomper Posted November 1, 2008 Report Posted November 1, 2008 *lol* at least that is a problem that will solve itself LOL.... well, he could ALWAYS solve it with surgery I suppose. Quote
Schaf Posted November 1, 2008 Report Posted November 1, 2008 LOL.... well, he could ALWAYS solve it with surgery I suppose. uhm... nope... that was when you look old and want to look younger I'll do it when I get 30! (kiddin') Quote
Bezerkus Posted November 2, 2008 Report Posted November 2, 2008 You can always go to the academy next year...after the harvest. Quote
Daetrin[Admin] Posted November 2, 2008 Report Posted November 2, 2008 It could be worse. You could be 40 wishing you were 18 ;-) Quote
snoopy trooper[TK] Posted November 2, 2008 Report Posted November 2, 2008 when you get old you are going to wish you were young . today 18 tomorrow when you get up you will be 40 and ask yourself what the hell I'm 40 and 40# more to lol on another note i sent your box out friday you should have it thur or fri Quote
4505 Marcel Posted November 2, 2008 Report Posted November 2, 2008 My mum always used to say the same, ahh the years will soon pass you by boy! Blimey she wasnt wrong, after 18 the years just seem a blur now im 35 and wondering where the hell time went lol! Quote
TK8776 jgarrettg Posted November 2, 2008 Report Posted November 2, 2008 Why don't you get your stuff ready for Elite while you're waiting? Staying occupied will make it go by fast. Quote
rapstertee Posted November 2, 2008 Report Posted November 2, 2008 A month to go? Dude, its only 4 weeks! You can order extra gloves, undersuit, amp, fans etc, in the meantime, and they'll all take longer to arrive than a month! Quote
TK-7980 Posted November 2, 2008 Author Report Posted November 2, 2008 Yeah I'm taking this time right now to put the finishing touches on my suit. Still considering going sandy. . (Selling the suit for funds *gasp* ) If I don't decide to go sandy I'll still sell it for a TE2/ap. This hobby is so crazy. So many things to do! So many choices! I got your email snoopy, thanks again! I can't wait to get it. I'm guessing I'd like to stay in the 20s for the rest of my life, but then again, I hear that the 30s are the best time of your life.

trooperstormy Posted November 2, 2008 Report Posted November 2, 2008 I joined the 501st right after my 18th b-day. I got my armor when I was 17. Its sooo hard to wait isnt it?! Ha Quote
rapstertee Posted November 3, 2008 Report Posted November 3, 2008 I wish I'd done this in my mid-20's. But then I didn't have tha cash, and I was raising my first daughter! I'm 39 in December, and having the time of my life while I still can! And for anyone under 30 out there ....I'll let you into a secret: Being 30, 35, 38.....It doesn't feel ANY different to your teens! Really - the only change is that you know more stuff! Quote
tatooine Posted November 3, 2008 Report Posted November 3, 2008 Yeah, the 30's are the best age I think. You make better pay by then, you got a bit more wisdom and more of a level head. Only problem is, the ol' metabolism usually starts to slow up. Don't think you can eat what you did as a teen or a 20-something! I'm gonna use my armor build as motivation to not turn into a mcfatty! Gotta make sure it fits! You ever seen how ridiculous a plumber's crack is on a stormtrooper in full armor when he bends over to pick up his blaster? Wow, scarier than Darth Vader with a hangover!

Jello[501st] Posted November 6, 2008 Report Posted November 6, 2008 My mum always used to say the same, ahh the years will soon pass you by boy! Blimey she wasnt wrong, after 18 the years just seem a blur now im 35 and wondering where the hell time went lol! Amen, brother! Not that being in my thirties is bad; I'm enjoying myself more now then when I was in my teens. But my how time flies... Quote
TK-7980 Posted November 6, 2008 Author Report Posted November 6, 2008 I think I'm over the disappointment now. Lol Quote
ThayNerd[TK] Posted November 6, 2008 Report Posted November 6, 2008 You'll be 501st in no time. Quote
