On July 11, 2014, Midwest Garrison was present to support the Relay For Life Cancer walk in Highland, IL. Thank you to all troopers who came out to support those who are battling themselves or helping someone to battle this terrible illness. Kristen Avara TX 7844 Shadow Stormtrooper Scott Holder TI ...

May 17th was yet again another successful Walk for Wishes with the Make A Wish Foundation! We had a lot of troopers in attendance including the MWG, 70th, Dantooine Base and Nexu Clan. This was the first year we participated in the Metro-East March of Dimes. Troopers mingled we were well received. W...

I will post photos when my computer isn't being stupid.

Two hours Phyllis.

Welcome! I'm from close to St. Louis, but I actually know where Rantoul is! People in the legion have all kinds of tricks for making armor look good. I know next to nothing about armor (I have my shadow stormtrooper armor, but it's still in the box...), but if people on here can't help you, people o...

Welcome! Good luck with the building! We have a lot of great resources in the garrison for building TK amor, so just give a shoutout whenever you need help!

Welcome!

Welcome! I am working on my ATA Shadow Stormtrooper now! I live in Southern Illinois by St. Louis, but I do get up to Northern Illinois occasionally to troop. Good luck and hopefully we get to troop with you soon!

Kinda looks like you might be picking a wedgie Luke?

Welcome from southern Illinois! And Chip, the better question is why NOT a TIE??? TIEs are bad ass! :wink: TIE and gunner both have same flight suit, boots, and com pad, so with just a few tweaks you can be either (correct me if I'm wrong). Very convenient. We have a few gunners...perhaps Neil would...

Ditto to what my partner in crime said.

I might have forgotten a picture...whoops.

Here it is:

My brother is a science teacher at Pontiac Jr. High School in Fairview Heights, IL. Last week one of his 8th grade students was diagnosed with leukemia and was started on chemotherapy. I decided it would be a good idea to pay him a visit in our armor after discussing his condition with his parents. ...

ROFL. Yay! It's fixed now!

LOL...so now you listed Brad as TK and yourself as gunner...

Neil, do you realize you listed yourself as "gunner" instead of "TK"?

Haha. We were contacted by St. Baldricks to attend.

We were there for 4 hours (from 11am-3pm).

The unoffical grand total for funds raised is $8211.31. Very successful event!

Thanks Sarah! You did a great job pulling double duty as handler/photographer at the St. Baldricks event yesterday!
