    Pottery Barn Kids STAR WARS Promotional Event

    in Tours of Duty

    Posted

    :duim: THanks for posting the pics Chazz!!

    LOL we just can't get it right 100% of the time bro! Just like the other day, I forgot my voiceamp and then the time for that I forgot by backpack! :6:

    Yeah, Jay has a great Vader, but he says he wants to start working on another one sooon. His voice was excellent with the car stereo speakers on his back.

    And it looks like you got swamped with autographs too!! Both Jay and another Vader said it made their neck sore!

    Looks like you trooped with RBJ he is one of the best vaders in the legion! I also went as vader this time around. I had a chest armor slip *for some reason no one told me during the event" I modded my boots again before the event with out thinking about how bad it would effect my cape lol But here are my horrible pictures.

    Legoland USA Star Wars Weekend 2008

    Hey Lewis, :) if you have a photo from Legoland, please post it here too . . .

    It's funny you were able to circle the park. I never made it past the front entrance area as I didnt do the droid hunt and had to take care of the jawas . . .

    OH! I found a great one from Lesley, so I added it to the first post . . .

    PS-I'm glad to hear you had a swell time trooping with all your fellow TDs on Saturday. :rolleyes:

    Good work!

    We had two Pottery Barn requests in MD. I unfortunately couldn't make either of them.

    Awh, man! THe kids woulda loved to see your TD!!! (next time . . .)

    We actually had six PBK events in So Cal alone! :wacko:

    But I lucked out as they started allowing TDs to attend since so many of our TKs were at Legoland Day 1.

    If anyone elso did a PBK event, please post about it here! :rolleyes:

    Costa Mesa, CA - MEPD Officer Wellington Eng and fellow 501st Legion and Rebel Legion members entertained more than 600 visitors at the Pottery Barn Kids' STAR WARS promotional event on September 13, 2008. LFL had requested that we support the launch of the Pottery Barn Kids SW line of products. In agreement with LFL, Pottery Barn Kids will be making a charity donation to St Judes Children's Hospital on behalf of the entire legion.

    There was a special visit before the event started by a family whose mother is not supposed to live past the holidays. Officer Eng provided a special Hasbro Battle Pack (below) to her two boys on behalf of the 501st.

    After the event we had the unique opportunity to lunch with 501st LCO Mark Fordham (below, third from the right) and his two sons who had travelled from Utah to man the Manhattan Beach, CA PBK SW event.

    (Special thanks to MEPD's GenericFoster, who at the last minute, supplied me with a voice amp for this event after I had fried my old one. :duim: )

    Legoland USA Star Wars Weekend 2008

    Carlsbad, California - Around one hundred troopers from the 501st Legion and Rebel Legion converged on Legoland USA this weekend to celebrate STAR WARS and Legos. Several droids from the R2 Builders club also attended. Among troops were TD6768 Officer Ervoes and TD1755 Officer Eng of the MEPD. Their presence was useful in managing the local jawa population.

    I'd love to see a new, more official, tshirt with the MEPD shield in full color.

    BTW, do we have a slogan/motto and epithet (eg Vader's Fist)?

    Or, if we need low budget, I suggest a simple one like these 2 examples:

    We could even add "Deployed" under "MEPD Police Officer" for those deployed.

    I think with the recent class of deployed grads that there'd be demand for this version.

    Now, Of Course, I'd really love to see a Re-Run of this Rolf Special:

    ...Thank you again everyone...hope to get deployed fairly soon...first troop will be at LegoLand in 2 weeks...

    Looking good Lewis!

    So sad I'll be at trooping at Pottery Barn Kids when you roll out the TD!

    Now be careful how you set up the straps, cuz after three hours at the TRU event Saturday, my shoulders are KILLING me! (I still need to give you those pads I was talking about.)

    Which is correct. Forum moderators haven't really been set up yet. I'll talk to Mike about this.

    wow, I must say command staff certainly has their plate full with all this (passport, deplayment, avatar titles, moderating etc) going on. My hat's off to y'all.

    Post counts never get reset. When you're a deployed trooper your group icon (when we get icons) or group moves from (member | 501st member) to MEPD Police Officer. You're title should also go from being post-count based to simply being "MEPD Police Officer", but with the switchover I think that last part got missed.

    Oooh, so that's why I couldn't figure it out :0Lighten:

    OK, so then after the correction script has been run, all Deployed Troopers's titles should read "MEPD Police Officer" unless they hold a position such as "Detachment Leader", right?

    Greetings y'all! :salute:

    XO Paul started this thread more than 2yrs ago, and I can't locate a more current thread.

    I would just like to request that the rank/title system be comfirmed here.

    It's my understanding that avatar block rank/titles follow this progression:

    1-24 posts: Police Recruit

    25-49 posts: MEPD Police Officer

    50-99posts: Police Lieutenant

    100+ posts: Police Commander

    Is that correct??

    I understand that the promotions only apply those MEPD Deployed. However, once one becomes deployed, the post count is retained, right? (In other words, one doesn't start all over again.) I am asking in particular because, although I have had all Deployment requirements satisfied, I am not officially deployed yet due to technical difficulties in the deployment office. Meanwhile, trying to be more involved with the department, I have been posting more, so I'm curious whether or not I'm getting any "credit" with these posts.

    Please advise.

    Thank you in advance.

    Hava a great holiday weekend.
