If Canter can put forth an effort to make it from South Africa, then my lazy ass better give it my best try to get there.
Sign me up. Just tell me what I gotta do, (other than save my pennies).

I'm preparing my partners for the whole thing and they've said that it would be better to go for 2 weeks, rather than 4 days.
So, still planning the great American Adventure, but keeping fingers crossed.
Hometown: Brits, (Northwest Province) South Africa. Name: Canter
I'll check out your site to make sure I'm doing everything I should.

That is major Shiny-ness to make it over from South Africa! Sort of makes us "locals" look bad. Course, I already have my ticket, I will be there and I will be marching, as Zoe, sort of.
I aim to misbehave!

Evening folks. Alright Canter, NVGhostRider, and FireflyGal, I will add you to the webpage when I make the updates (wednesday hopefully).
Canter I got the info I need from you, NVG and FFG, I'll need a last name (real or made up) hometown (city, state and country) and I'll use your handle from here as a callsign. NVG, if you don't mind, can I drop the NV and just use GhostRider?
Welcome to the fold soldiers. It's good to have you aboard.
Canter, if you come all the way from South Africa for this Con I owe you a drink at the very least.

Welcome to all the new recruits! Glad to see you!
LostThought, I think there is a LMG version of the G36 out there somewhere....
Are we still going to get to see the Reaver outfit from last year, though, at some point in the Con?

Hey, I won't be able to march, but I'd love to be an honorary.

We give honorary positions to those that have made large contributions to the unit. Boomer is an honorary because she and her husband are making the lanyards for the group, are offering assistance in leather working to the troops, etc. Come to think of it, I think it's harder to get an honorary rank than it is to get a regular rank.

Does it count that I was asked to join? Does it count that I'd love to join? Does it count that I'm a poor university student that must live vicariously through other Browncoats?
Ah well. I'll be in Africa during the D*C march.
Best of luck to you all.

It does matter, and it will probably be taken into consideration. I'm not counting you out of the 76th, just not as an honorary. Just because you can't be at D*C doesn't mean you'll never be able to march with us.

Morning, all!
I want to go ahead and post something regarding "joining" the 76th. The XO and I have talked about this and agreed that everyone who wants to join should be able to. This is, after all, just another way for fans to show their love. So, if you want to be a member of the 76th, feel free to sign up! Even if you are not able to march at D*C, there will be other marches or cons or shindigs in which you can show off. We will have patches and all sorts of other items to purchase, make, find, etc., so everyone should be able to create their own uniform.
The one thing we are a bit more strict on is the ranking. Everyone is considered a Private unless they have or will be giving something to the group in terms of skills, advice and expertise, etc.; they are not automatic, nor do they give anyone any "real" authority. Remember, this is an imaginary battalion 
For the sake of the march, I would like to try to follow military guidlines as far as discipline. I am not talking about walking in lockstep down the street...that would not be the Independent way! I would like to see some semblance of order, though, as I am sure most of us would...it will look very impressive, don't you think?
So, in a nutshell, even if you can't march, feel free to join. Rank is given on merit/contributions, but everyone is equal in terms of input.
