- 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

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.

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.”

I am not familiar with a list of found parts. My pack is from CrookKnight. He is closed and sold all of his pack stuff to Dave' s Darkside Depot. The pack I have is 3D printed. My pack has elastic straps to hold it in place. the straps are hidden by the pauldron and armor mostly and blends with the undercut. As for the weathering, the CRL moderately weathered. I'd interpret the as the weathering should be noticeable but not excessive.

Greetings Troopers. I wanted to ask if any TDs in Florida or really warm environments by chance have a 3D printed dlt19? I'm looking at picking up a kit but from what I've heard recently.. PLA is not really durable when it comes to heat.
Like.. will it be safe in my bin in my car in FL in summer for a couple hours?
Any and all advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance
I would say it is not

Hello MEPD,
I am cross-posting this interest thread for a memorial patch for Terrell Reber, the maker of ATA Works Armor. He was a major part of the costuming supply for our community.

Hello everyone, TD11559 from Israel outpost here : )
I joined recently, and I wonder to ask, I noticed that unlike other detachments the MEPD is barely active at all, the last post were around 2020 or 2021 or something like that, am I missing something? is there any different Facebook page?
I would love to know, thanks in advance
There is an MEPD social page that is for members only. That page has a lot more activity

I agreed with Bigwam, my return edge is very thin

You and I have actually talked about this topic on the legion forum. It was also brought to my attention that you posted this to Instagram is well, saying this isn't approvable. This costume is approvable at level 3, SWAT. So, it is in fact approvable. This rule is in place for the very reason you stated in the post. The MEPD does not want to be the place people take old, yellowed TKs without any upgrades. For level one approval, you will need to add pouches and a pauldron. If you wish to approve as a higher level, you will first need to approve to level one and then you will need to pause the film and copy the armor style and weathering pattern exactly to the character you have chosen.

I'm in the same boat. I can't see the elections for MEPD. I can see my other detachments, though. Thanks.
I don't see an issue on my end, you show as active in MEPD. Sometimes, if you haven't been on the forum for a year, the system bumps you from active. Or maybe your GML placed you on reserve or retired. We are locked out of making changes during the election.

Kris the LMO will be in the changing area at 11:15 to start coordinating the detachments for the 501st photo if anyone in MEPD in attendance wants to help him.
-
On Saturday, April 8 at noon the Legion will be taking the group 501st photo at celebration. If any MEPD members want to stick around afterwards to take a group photo, we will have a time in line after some of the other detachments. The venue is only allowing us to use the stairs until 2 PM. We may need to get our own photographer for the photo. We are 15th in line just after spec ops.
