Great Lakes Garrison & Base

I need to know how do I go about getting approved for the 501st,
I would like to submit 2 different costumes
One would be a stormtrooper and the other would be an Imperial officer costume.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

And how do this build parts work
Thank you

Sorry for my ignorance but what is the Mercs?

Is there by any chance an armor building party in Detroit, Ann arbor, south east michigan ?

Sorry for my choice of words, I ment to say in accordance with all 501st measurements and requirements

Thank your the imput/ responses, I got very lucky and anovos just sent me the tracking number for my armor that has been shipped, it only took 2 days from me pacing order to them shipping it, according to ups ground I should expect my big brown box next August 5th I also ordered from another vendor ...

After some time debating and justifying the purchase, I finally decided and ordered my anovos storm trooper suit kit 1. do I have to wait till my suit is all finish to apply for admission to the great lakes garrison? 2. Are there parties where one can meet to get help trying to put the kit together,...
