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.
Welcome Dean! Where in North-Central Illinois are you at? We have a continual growing group down in the Peoria area and you are always welcome to join us when you are visiting at Bradley University.

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.
Everything you need to know on how to join is listed here: http://databank.501st.com/databank/Membership:JoinUs
On that page it tells you how and what pictures are required. Those pictures need to be submitted to the GML. Our GML is Phil Cline and this is his email: pcline128@gmail.com
Once your pictures are approved, be patient this can take some time, you will fill out the online application.
