  1. Hello fellow Troopers,

    I believe Tapatalk is back online.  Please give it a test when time permits.  I was able to access MEPD from Taptalk on my mobile device.

    Let me know if you experience any issues.

    MANY thanks for your patience, I know this has been a very long wait.

  2. We haven't forgotten about Tapatalk :)  Elections are over, and we have the new app installed on our forums.  Mon Mothma put it best: "it is not yet operational."  We are trying to track down some important info to get it back online.  I'll update once it is ready.

    Thank you for your continued patience.

  3. Troop 32: On February 11th, 2018, our Garrison was invited to attend a Blue & Gold Banquet for the Cub Scouts in Leesburg.  They had a Star Wars theme for the evening.  The banquet was kicked off with the Imperial March, and we led the Scouts to the stage for the flag ceremony.  Later, we got to join these future recruits for some chow in the mess hall.

  4. As we all know, Taptalk has stopped working since the upgrade of the site.  Eric (DarthAloha) has tried to work some magic behind the scenes but to no avail.

    I have disabled the Tapatalk app/plugin and it may seem that "submit reply" is now working on forums and messages?  Prior to this, when I clicked "submit reply" on a forum or on a private message, my message would actually post, but you wouldn't know because the message was still sitting there.  I would click submit reply a 2nd time and it would double post.  

    We'll have to table the Tapatalk issue and try to get the forum back to working order.

  5. Not sure if this will help your ammo pack from folding...do your rear-facing securing loops on the ammo pouch run diagonally?

    I have a snap on my alice pack strap that secures the ammo pouch.  Here is a photo of the snap on the alice strap.  This is simply a piece of 1" nylon strapping, with a single snap, hand-sewn onto the alice pack strap.  I have an Anovos kit, I didn't use their strapping, so I had some leftover.  As you can see, this one has velcro (not used).  Like a Jawa, I recycled :)

    I can slide my alice pack strap through both ammo pack loops.  Then I just use the snap that was sewn onto the alice pack strap to secure the top ammo pack loop.

    As you can see, the loops on the ammo pack run diagonally, so my ammo pack can't fold.  Are you utilizing both loops from your ammo pack?  If you are only using one, it could cause that folding problem.

  6. Troop 29: On September 24th, 2017, Garrison Tyranus attended the Dulles Cars and Coffee event to help raise awareness and funding for children's cancer.  Ellie's hats, an organization helping children with cancer, was onsite helping with the event.  On a sidenote, there was a functioning landspeeder at the car show.

  7. Troop 27: On July 15th, 2017, Garrison Tyranus was invited to a Star Wars style birthday party.  The young man celebrating has been battling cancer.  The day started off a little rainy, but once all of his friends arrived (and the video game truck), the sun popped out and we were able to have a great outdoor party.  The young man, who turned 6, is now in remission!
