Congratulations brother; welcome to the department!

Looking good trooper; be patient and good luck on your review!!

Congratulations to you brother; nice to see another MEPD Deployed with me at Dune Sea Garrison!

Congrats and welcome!

Good luck on your submittal Kainan - nice sandy!

Thank you fellow troopers!! BTW - I sent Luis a pic for the member list; any idea what his normal turn around time is? I was waiting for it to post to the MEPD member area to send some friends a screen grab and share the good news!

Felice, Oh wow - This is awesome!! Thank you for the review, approval, and for allowing me to join this elite group of troopers!!! .... and trust me, I wasn't going to leave those rivets un-weathered I was just anxious to get you the photos that you wanted on the requested changes. I will definitely get Luis my profile pic.

Felix, I have made the following changes to my MEPD Duty Armor; 1. Provide close-up tube stripe photos. 2. Provide elastic shoulder strap photos. 3. Side and Cod rivets were painted white. 4. Raise height of ammo belt. 5. Shorten thermal detonator plate. 6. Shorten stinger length. 7. Lower radar dish. 8. Adjust angle of radar tube (at Baron's suggestion) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have been on vacation and was glad to see this had been reviewed in my absence. Thank you for the comments; I will get busy on those changes.

Reference: Road Captain 'Move Along' Good afternoon, I am requesting deployment with the MEPD here in Phoenix, Arizona (a.k.a. Tatooine). Please see the attached photos for consideration. As a current Homicide Detective, this will be a pretty cool membership and prestigious organization to be a part of if I am approved. As such, I'm looking forward to joining your ranks - I'm ready for the critiquing to begin... Respectfully, Todd Ruggeri

Here's another Anovos question - I'm getting my armor ready to submit for 'Deployment' Status and have a Ab Button question. According to the CRL's for 501st Requirements Rule 12 states, 12.AB PLATE: All Sandtrooper armor parts are weathered.See the Sandtrooper weathering page for more information. Left side Abdomen Armor has a minimum of three, and maximum of four painted white buttons. Right side Abdomen Armor is a blank square and does not contain buttons like the Stormtrooper. At the risk of sounding adversarial when that is not the case nor my intention - I'm here to make friends. So my question is - where does it say in either 501st Sandtrooper Requirements and more importantly MEPD Deployment Requirements that the Ab Buttons 'must' be three buttons. I know if I'm wrong, I will be corrected 10 times over, but aren't three buttons only required for 'SWAT' status?? Thanks in advance, -Todd

This may be an old post, but us new guys still use this one and other collectively to get our packs just right!

I just bought a child-sized armor kit and I'm making my 7-year-old son a Sandtrooper. Does anyone know where I can get a chid-sized pauldron and/or ammo pouches??? I would be fine with just a child pualdron!

Looks good; your attention to detail and willingness to make a good product is appreciated. -Todd
