Tain't any apology needed, Cap'n. Because you got the single most important thing right:

... remember this is all for fun. It's just a bunch of fans
getting together to march at parades and walk around in costume.
It's not as in depth as war reenactment groups or LARP. It's just people having fun.
Flesh out a character if you want, or don't, just show up and march at the con.
Iff'n my history makes you think twice about marching with the 76th...
IGNORE MY HISTORY.
Jes' show up.
March.
Have fun.

I need to ba able to put my words down like that. Thanks Tristan and Doc for that. I love the back story Doc, and I'd love to see more. I hope you didn't think my post was against the work you've done, that wasn't my intention.
Anyway, keep up the good work, everyone, just remember to have fun with this.

See above.
No apologies needed.
Show Up.
March.
HAVE FUN.
All my history-writing is for is to give people with a taste for backstory
something tasty to chew on. If it doesn't help people have more fun,
it ain't doing what I want it to... and oughta be ignored.
Of course, I conjure it is helping people have fun.
But I'm belike to be prejudiced. *twinkle*

I know I'm not an active member of the 76th, but I'd like to chime in with my thoughts.
I like Doc's backstory. A LOT. I think that the idea of some rich schmo outfitting a regiment fits right in with what ya'll are trying to do. He's financed the basic uniform (coat, vest, et al), but the peripherals are entirely what the volunteers brought with them. So, you end up looking like your Battalion, but not automatons or so-called "structured military".
You're a dedicated group, fighting for what's right...with whatever supplies you can find/bring/raid/etc.

76 being significant? Could be something as simple as the founder being born in 2476.
That's my first idea, more may come later.

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

Thank you for that, Doc.
Show up.
March.
Have fun.
I don't think I could have said it better myself.
Thank you, VerseExplorer! By the way, there are open spots for medics if you are still interested. RIMG is the officer in charge of that.
Boomer, I am not sure I like the thought of being called a "schmo". 
And thank you for summing up what I have been trying to get out of my mouth (fingers?) for several posts now.
Nico...never thought of it that way...the 76th for my birth year. Hmm.

I thought it was simply because Zoe had mentioned the 76th in the flashbacks. I could be mistaken though.

BWTP, in reality, yes, it was because Zoe mentioned the 76th in one of the deleted scenes from the pilot episode. However, going by your dating system (to find our birth year) I ended up being born in 2476...so it is kind of funny.
