Thank you, Sister, for the third!
So be it.
ArtCat is now our Lieutenant/Armorer! 
BWTP, when you have time, would you mind terribly adding ArtCat's new rank? Thank you!

I have been perusing DragonCon's site, and came across the "rules" for weapons. I thought it would be a good idea to post it here, as I know we had talked about other weapons such as knives:
Quote:
Please abide by our weapons policy: All weapons must be non-working and peace bonded. No functioning projectile weapons includes water pistols, silly-string guns, and ping-pong pistols. Bladed weapons must be cased or sheathed at all times. No clowning around or showing off in the common areas. Any weapon used in an offensive manner will be confiscated and rule #7 enforced. We expect you to use good judgment; with your help, we can continue to allow peace-bonded weapons - thanks!
Rule Number 7 is this:
Quote:
We reserve the right to ask you to leave the convention and refuse to refund your membership money if you are behaving - in technical terms - like a jerk.
So...the have a sense of humor, but they are pretty serious about the weapons. I think the only thing I would really worry about would be the knives people choose to carry...just keep them firmly in their sheaths if they are real.

Well, I'm not sure if I actually am going to DragonCon (still working out the details), but if I do I'd love to join y'all in the march. I think that would make my 1st con just so much fun. You guys are so very organized. I'm impressed. I'll keep my eye on this thread and the site and let y'all know if I'm going for sure. Big thanks to Tristan for pointing me in this direction.

Roxy! Welcome to the 76th...maybe. Even if you don't make it to D*C, welcome anyway!
BWTP, we have another recruit!

As to the knives...When we go to RenFaires, our swords are always peace-tied. You can find black zip ties at places like Home Depot to keep weaponry in its sheath. They usually check us at the gate, as the black blends in so well, not the garish bright orange that they use. LOL.
Just a thought.

You mean that all it took to pass the PFC exam was to fill out some details on a form? Maybe I should do paperwork a bit more often.
The reason why I was thinking a headband (or scarf tied around the head) rather than a helmet was more a way of personalising it, rather than a cost thing. With my years in the CFS, I've gotten used to wearing a heavy helmet for long durations, so I'd be able to manage something as old as the WWII 'Mae West' helmets, but I view the demolitions specialist as someone whose uniform is slightly different to the norm. It's also why the red vest (if worn) will be obscured by the tac-vest (looted from some Alliance trooper early in the war) with it's bulging pockets of explosives and other stuff mentioned in earlier posts.

From blowing open locked fridges, to destroying Alliance gun emplacements, it's all fun for me.

Just dropped email to BWTP. I may be in Yokohama instead of Atlanta that weekend, but I am delighted to see the interest in a Browncoat battalion along the lines of the 501st.
Count me in.
(And yes, BWTP -- it's all true. Every word. ;-) )

BWTP, good idea. I hereby change the nomination for ArtCat to Lieutenant/Armorer.
Second?
You know I second it.
< snip >
Sounds good. And it's Captain btw. RIMG, I'll need a name to go after the SFC.
For good measure, I will third the above nomination.
EDIT: Part of the thread didn't show up when I was making this post, didn't see that it was already thirded.
SFC Alexander. I think that sounds good.
Tristan - about the vest. I will believe what you said about the thicker material, and I am also going to second your sentiment about a darker color, as (and I do not mean this as offensive) right now it looks like a crossing guard's vest.

BWTP, please put me down for 1 patch. *sigh* I'll figure out something with it.
