Welcome!
Yep, like Chris said there’s a lot that goes on all over the Carolinas!
Greenville, SC to the North of Augusta has a good number of troops that happen there, as well as Columbia to the East, and Charleston to the Southeast!
Hope to get a chance to troop with ya!"Believe in yourself or no one else will" -Star Wars the Clone Wars: Season 2 Episode 5: Landing at Point Rain

Welcome Jim!
My name is Eric, I wasn’t at Matthews Comic Con but I know a lot of the people that were including Don and Omar!
Glad to also have another member coming to the Charlotte Area! I’m from Fort Mill, SC over the border and go to college in Anderson, SC but after I graduate in May I should be in the Charlotte area a lot more!Yeah it helps to have a little hands on help when building your armor at first. But besides that I know there are many guides on the FISD (First Imperial Stormtrooper Detachment) forum boards to help as well depending on which version of a stormtrooper you’re doing!
Like even though they may look the same at a glance, there is differences between the stormtroopers that appear in Rouge one vs the ones that appear in A New Hope vs the ones that appear in Empire Strikes Back vs the ones that appear in Rotj, etc.
Also depends on the armor maker you got yours from!
Let us know if you have any questions!"Believe in yourself or no one else will" -Star Wars the Clone Wars: Season 2 Episode 5: Landing at Point Rain
I love the name “Port Cities Patrol”!
Now I’m kind of hoping ya’ll will call the official squad that 
And likewise, I’ve also felt that the events on the costal cities or upper NC areas were open to me and other members!
Its just the physical boundary of a large land mass in the way that’s keeping me back XD
From me to the coast would probably be a 3-4 hour drive, which is a lot for me. Especially if the event is in the early morning or late evening. But one of these days I’ll get out there for one!But I see pictures and events of what ya’ll do and it’s great work!
I can understand thinking we might have jumped of jumped into it quickly, it honestly did come as a bit of a fast surprise to me as well. But it is what it is!

Hey there Tom!
I think there’s been a misunderstanding.
From what I understand, anyone in the garrison or another squad can still troop in other squads “territory” as sign ups should be open to the whole garrison just as they are now.
Because those that don’t decide to join a squad, how will they get troops in if they can’t sign up for “squad only” events even if they live in that territory?Only thing I could see actually being “squad only” is maybe like a holiday party at someone’s house, but that’s not a troop and probably wouldn’t be super heavily enforced of being “squad only” depending on the host. But that’s besides the point.
So your example of the Carolina Hurricanes game and it having a face character, in this case a Vader, should be first come first serve like events now. So a Vader from Greenville or a Vader from Charleston would have just as much a chance to sign up on the forums as anyone else, just depends on who gets to it first. They shouldn’t get turned away just because they live elsewhere in the garrison.
Now the thing you said about “if you have a named character, just talk to each other and share the troop.”
I don’t remember reading that anywhere on the Facebook group about it relating to squads, but from what I’ve been told, that’s something that has always been the case as just a common curtesy, specifically for cons and long events.
If you have a con 9am-6pm, there’s no way that anyone will stay in costume that entire time. That would be absolutely draining.
So ideally if you have two people with the same face/hero character, lets use Vader as an example again. You’d work it out with the person to tag team! Maybe do it in two hour shifts and switch throughout the day. Or one person takes the morning time and the other takes the rest of the afternoon. Maybe the person out of costume uses the time to man the table, handle/take peoples pictures, walk around the con, or eat lunch and recharge.
If there is issues of people not sharing, then in my opinion, that should be brought up with staff to mediate the situation.
I also thought there was a written rule about this in a Legion document but couldn’t find it
We’ve also kind of had an informal “squad” here in Greenville area and now there’s been a push to make it more official and organized.
Specifically more so with the organization so that we can have clear communication and preparation to show up to these events in full force!
We’ve seen what other garrisons and squads have been doing with their setups and events and want to be the best we can be!If anything I’ve said has been incorrect though, and someone has a more accurate understanding or information, please correct me!
This is just how I understand it.
I think squads has a potential to be a dividing thing if done incorrectly, but I’m hopefully optimistic that they will be a unifying thing!"Believe in yourself or no one else will" -Star Wars the Clone Wars: Season 2 Episode 5: Landing at Point Rain
hmmm, then I wonder what “super sticky” does

BTW I think this topic shows up on every other topic because its pinned. Don’t know if that’s intentional or not.

I’m excited to see that too!
