Hello Midwest Garrison Members!

Post by Arsnik »

My name is Dean, I'm from north-central Illinois and I want to say I look forward to meeting and getting to know the Garrison members. I'm married and my wife and I work in our local area. We have one child, a daughter, who attends Bradley University. If anyone has questions or would like to know more I'll be happy to reply. :)

Oh...I've recently placed my order with RS Prop Masters for a set of TK armor and I'm excitedly awaiting "big brown box day". Their web site says 4-6 weeks and I'm hoping it doesn't feel like years instead of weeks.

I heard from RS Prop Masters today and March 15th is the build date for my armor with shipping to take place "shortly" after. I'm pretty excited!!

I'm near LaSalle/Peru which is exit 75 on Interstate 80.

I just received my armor and it looks great! Takes a bit of getting used to putting it on and moving around but that'll come with time.
In order to join the 501st I believe I have to make a submission to my local Garrison for approval. How do I go about doing that, what's required? If there's a post somewhere that explains the steps I must have missed it.
