Evening, BWTP.
You gave me the idea to look at the two helmets side-to-side...and I concur. They are close enough that they can both be used for our purposes.
So, 76th, we give you two, two helmet choices *insert Count Dracula laugh here*
We may have to find a spray paint brand/color that is universal so we can be sure the color will match. I know there are certain stores that exist all across the US, so that should not be too difficult. For our foreign recruits, we may be able to work something out where someone here will get the helmet, prepare it, and either mail it to you or give it to you at D*C. That will be something we can figure out after we firgure out the color.

Hey - that's cool! I am up for that!! It's almost a shame that I will have to rely on someone else to do the work for me - as I love putting in the time to create something... but I don't think it would be very easy to explain to customs...
I'm going for a walk soon! 
just for practice!

Helmets aren't so difficult, Magdalena 'heart.
Try flying with a case full of rapiers, longswords, and daggers.

Calling all historical-minded volunteers!
I'm looking for timelines derived from the events of the show and the BDM. There's a thread for this search over on the Battalion Boards:

Please take a gander, look at the one I found, tell me if you've got any better ones!

Thank you on both scores DocJubal!! I adore history and have a good head for details so I should be able to assist with the time line - I will report for duty over there shortly...
It's probably me watching too much of the TV show we have over here called 'Border Patrol' where they do things like deny entry on the grounds that they suspect the person has ulterior motives, maybe like marching in a battalion, or don't have enough money to stay for the period their ticket is for but have not obtained a work visa... things like that! 
I will report for duty anon sir!

Morning 76th!
Tristan, I should have info about helmets and insignia patches by no later than Friday night. I'll be sure to post up what I find out.
As far as painting the helmets, have we decided on a color yet?

I have a question.....
Do you have to go to Dragon Con in order to be a member? I want to to join, but can't go to Dragon Con, can I still join?
Also if so..... How do you? I went to the site and saw the application form, but I couldn't figure out how to fill it out. I copied it off the screen and was going to email it to one of your guys, but I didn't know which one or what the addresses were.
Help?

Morning, 76th!
Doc, thank you for that link. I posted this over there, but I'll go ahead and post here, too...I have seen a few timelines, but that one has a great deal more detail. Good find!
Magda, just act all innocent and they'll let you through.
BrownCoat1, I am looking forward to the info on the helmets and insignia.
As for the helmet color, I am not entirely sure yet. I will be looking at some screen caps and will probably rewatch the flashback scenes to see. I am going to assume some sort of a brown.

FireStalker, no, you do not have to march to join. The only thing we ask is that you don't present yourself in public as a member of the 76th until after DragonCon in September of 2007. That will be our first official "unveiling".
Please email the app to me tristan71@cableone.net
