Hello, TD 6115 respectfully requesting 501st/detachment access. I was just reactivated after a 9 year hiatus. Man it feels good to troop again. https://www.501st.com/members/displaymember.php?userID=7931&costumeID=2

Glad to be here. Look for updates on new swag coming

- From the Desk of the D.L. - Meet the Command Staff - CRL changes (proposed) Hello to my Dirty Brothers and Sisters, I am hoping to bring this tradition back this year. I love our newsletter as it is where I got my start on the MEPD command staff. If anyone has an idea or topic they would like for us to cover here in future issues, please message me. Also, if you have a submission for the newsletter, we are open to others sharing their work. The MEPD is also in need of a new Merchandising Officer. Our new PRO is Darth Mout. Our former PRO, Quinnzelle, has moved to the newly created Detachment Diversity Officer Position. The Legion has also added 2 additional detachment positions this year, Detachment Archivist and Historian and Detachment Costume Advisor. If you, or anyone you know, would be interested in stepping up and joining the MEPD Command Staff PM me for a discussion. I appreciate everyone trusting me with another year as Detachment Leader and I look forward to a great year. It seems that troops are starting to come back even more this year. We are seeing a gradual improvement each year as we move farther away from 2020. Stay Dirty, Punisha Quinn Brown (SandEEQuiNN) TD-91197 Detachment Diversity Officer Former PRO Hello MEPD, I wanted to take a little time to introduce myself and tell you a little about me. I am a single mom of a wonderful 12-year-old daughter, who is a Sandy in the Galactic Academy. I was born just outside of Philadelphia. I grew up in Pennsylvania and Florida. I now live outside of Richmond, Virginia. I work as a sushi chef. In 2014, I met our DL, Punisha, at a convention and saw how cool the 501st costumes were in person. I first joined as Asajj Ventress, which I hand-sewed. My second costume was the Sandtrooper. I am the local Rebel Legion Base CO and XO of my local Squad. I am happy to be a part of the greatest Detachment in the Legion. Quinn Brown (SandEEQuiNN) I know we started this topic on the forums already, but I felt this would give it more attention and more eyes on the topic. I have revised my original post here to include ideas and additions already shared with me on the CRL updates thread here in these forums. If you have ideas to add to this discussion, go here: https://forum.mepd.net/index.php?/topic/18089-things-id-like-to-change-this-year/ I would like to make a couple of changes to the existing CRL. I am interested in your thoughts. As always, this will not affect those already approved. You are grandfathered in. This would only be for new applicants. Currently, the CRL reads, “For basic approval ribbed shoulder straps are acceptable but discouraged.” I would like to remove the ribbed shoulders option, as only special edition troopers have those and that is a separate CRL in progress. I would like the CRL to read, “TK style ribbed shoulders are not acceptable.” The next change is a similar change in thought. The current CRL reads, “Left side Abdomen Armor has a minimum of three, and maximum of four painted white buttons.” I would like the CRL to read, “Left side Abdomen Armor has three white buttons." (Credit to BadBatch for the edit) BigWam and Airbourne trooper also added these ideas. The first involved the helmet lenses. The current CRL reads that helmet lenses are “flat green or smoke.” The change would read that helmet lenses are “flat green.” Their next idea was to remove the shoulder pouch requirement when not wearing a backpack. The current CRL says “Black in color, made of canvas, leather or leatherlike German MP-40 style ammo pouches.” The change would read, “Black in color, made of canvas German style MP-40 pouch or leather or leather like Stolla Wien ammo pouch. If you do not wear a backpack, you do not need the shoulder pouch.”

Please welcome these officers into their new Command Staff roles : Executive Officer (XO): Joe Minimo ( minimo) TD-41814 Merchandise Officer (MBO): Angela Brown (dak) TD-75392 Detachment Costume Advisor: Dan D. (Koryu1212 Dan D) TD 15169 And a huge "Thanks!" to Jason Yap (Airborne Trooper) for his service as XO!! You will be missed in the role my friend!

Here we go! M3 countersunk head screws 57 mm apart on bottom chest to simulate original strapping system.

I just saw that you don't have a "Basic" approval yet? However, this has to be done first, I overlooked that. Despite everything, you won't have any problems with submitting the TD for a Basic. If you add the screws (M3 countersunk head) - like in the picture - then you will also get approval from me for Level 2 - the Police Officer.

233 Officers have now received their requested Certificates. *** Take care and Stay Safe out there, Troops! ***

The screws are just dummy. The effort is not great. 30 minutes, no more. Then nothing stands in the way of Level 2.

@Derpatron done

I got mine from Intergalactic Supply

75. ComicCon Dornbirn. 16.03.2024

105 - Science & technology fair - José Vasconcelos school - (feb-28-2024) - Durango City

104 - Valentine's Day fest - Medicine school - (feb-14-2024) - Durango City

Also a good solution

I found these for my Shoretrooper pouch: Pouch Inserts They work quite well, and the files are free.

74. "Company Party" - Blackned, Heimertingen, 13.07.2023

I put small PVC black pipe cut to length in each sleeve. Then 3 small ones in the small side pouch

Hi Gabe, have a look the 501st crl here: https://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:TD_sandtrooper It is very detailed and you will probably find most information there. You will also find a bunch of useful and higher quality reference pictures in the SWAT application section.
