How to get started as NCS?
Hi, all,
I'm waiting for my ANOVOS pre-order TK kit to arrive so I can join the 501st proper. However, I've heard talk of a thing called non-costume support (NCS), and it's been suggested that I join in that capacity in the meantime. That way I can join troops, meet some of the established members, connect to the community, assist however I can, blah, blah, blah. Is there some sort of membership level called NCS?--does anyone know how I might go about obtaining such a thing? I scoured the 501st site, but found nothing. As I said, I'm planning to submit proper photos once my armor is built. But if I can get involved in the interim, I'm all for it. What do I need to do?

You've done the right thing by posting your interest here. As soon as one of the admins sees this (and has time to do it as we all have jobs and such ) they can grant you access to the event forums.
Once you are on there, just find an event or 2 that you want to NCS at and post on the thread for that event.

Re: How to get started as NCS?
Thank you both! I'll dig into the event forum and do just as you instructed. There are a few events in West Michigan that I'd like to try and hit up before my armor arrives. Thanks again! --Jayson

Re: How to get started as NCS?
Is it too late to pile on? I would love the opportunity to help out and some events, that I will probably be going to anyway! I'm just waiting on my gear to arrive, and I'm getting started on my E11.

Unfortunately, I do not. I'm just trying to get my foot in the door with the community

I have been friends with Scott Zambelli for years and I recently just met new recruit Kurt Heydenburg who is helping me finish off my TK suit.
