My name is Donald Miner and I have just transferred in from the German Garrison, Arma Candida Squad in the Southwest Germany Stuttgart area. My wife and I are excited to be here after living abroad for the last 12 years. We are stationed at Scott Air Force Base for the foreseeable future. My wife is Alexandria and she is a huge supporter of the Legion, though not a trooper yet. She is a busy woman believe me and she has organized, planned and coordinated several trooping events at multiple military bases in Japan and Germany over the last several years. A few of which were cannon events sponsored by Lucasfilms and Hasbro. We hope to bring these same opportunities here to Scott AFB for our new trooper family as well as meeting up in other areas! Any troopers down here close to Scott, shoot me a private message if you are interested in coming to the base for some fun! We are discussing a may the 4th event potentially.
I have been flying for the Empire since 2015 and initially joined the Legion with the Japanese Garrison in Okinawa Japan. It was a great time and I was part of only three original troopers there until we grew our tiny "squad" prior to my departure. We moved from Japan in 2016 and I transferred into the German Garrison and joined the worlds largest Garrison with over 1000 active troopers. Let me tell you guys, it was awesome! At most major events, we would absolutely swarm the venue with hundreds and hundreds of troopers. Even while actively trooping, it was hard not to Geek out while seeing more Star Wars characters in armor and uniform than on the sets of Disney during filming our favorite shows!

A little about me. I am U.S. Navy (Retired) Special Operations Medical Deep Sea Diver and Paratrooper. It was a busy lifestyle.

I think that about covers it. It is time to make dinner! Looking forward to meeting all of you at events here in Illinois! Please feel free to touch base if you need anything. Seriously, we are happy to be here with you all and can't wait to meet you. Please take care.
For the Empire!
Don
