Great Lakes Garrison & Base

Hello and welcome to Michigan! I have updated your forum access. Look forward to trooping with you soon.

Welcome! Feel free to ask questions here, we have plenty of people who can help. Also, if you haven't already, make sure to register on the https://forum.mepd.net/ detachment forums. That is where the experts to the Sandtrooper costume can be found.

Plans are set, looking forward to it! We are going to the Detroit Shipping Company at 6:30pm. If anyone else wants to join, please lmk so we can grab enough seats.

Congrats on your approval Bradley! I look forward to trooping with you soon.

As far as time, I can likely get on the road around 4pm. A coworker gave some suggestions for downtown restaurants and I'm also down to carpool for those of us coming from the suburbs to make parking easier once we get down there. Joel, any favorite types of foods or restaurants you've had your eye ...

Hey Joel, welcome to Michigan! Assuming no symptoms of con crud manifest from last weekend (so far so good), I'm still down to meet up Thursday evening.

Good deal! I was going to suggest April 3rd, but that is the home opener for the Detroit Tigers, so it might be best to avoid that day. Let's see if we can get a few others to tag along and we'll see where and when works best.

Hey Joel!

I'm not terribly far from Detroit and would love to meet up. I want to double check your dates though. Are you going to be here end of March/Early April or End of April/Early May? I'm available most evenings except Mondays, so let me know what would work best for you.

You purchased the armor, yes. But there are also boots, gloves, base layer, tips on assembly, etc. There are multiple ways to go about it and some may work better for you than others. I'm just trying to help you by showing you the different resources available. It sounds like you are off to a good s...

Best advice I can give, especially if you're building a stormtrooper, is to register on https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/. The people over there are experts in the subject and the website has 20+ years of knowledge and recommendations to help make sure you don't buy from unreputable vendors.

Welcome! What kit did you purchase? We are having an armor party in the Novi/Wixom area mid April. I can send you the details if you are interested. I can also give you NCS forum access if you are interested in doing that until you finish your armor.

Staz's last troop was in the summer of 2023. He was also a GML during the 2023-2024 Legion Year, so not 5 years since he's been around. Either way, we are glad to see him back.

It looks like our forums only have "reserve" and that is used for both reserve and retired GLG members. Probably something we need to look into updating. But Staz is correct, he is retired as of now, and will have to re-submit.

Heck yes! So happy to see this! Get those pics in.

Hey Jolly! It is great to hear from you. I hope your health continues to improve and you are able to make it out to some events soon!

Welcome Noah! Good luck with your submission and hopefully we'll see you at a troop in the near future.

Welcome Paul! I have updated your forum permissions so you should be able to see the events section now.

I look forward to trooping with you this year.

This style of website is called a "forum". And that's about where my technical knowledge ends in terms of how to set one up from scratch. I know a lot of people are switching to Discord because it doesn't require as much technical skill to setup. I've heard that you can organize a Discord ...

You should be good to go now!

I recommend checking out Crowprops or Keep Trooping. Keep Trooping specifically offers a complete TIE Pilot Reserve set. Another good resource is the Jolly Roger Detachment. That will be your best resource for all things TIE.

I hope that helps!
