Greetings! This is the home thread on FFF.ner for the newly-formed 76th Independent Battalion. Our first official event will be the DragonCon parade in September of 2007.

Something to consider...we are NOT the entire marching presence of DragonCon...we represent a group of fans that have decided to get together, dress alike, and stick to rules and regulations we have created. You do NOT need to join us in order to march at DragonCon. Also, if you can't or won't stick to the rules and regulations, then the 76th may not be the right group for you.
The XO said it better than I did, so I'll use his words here:
Bottom line folks, we said in the beginning that we could not, and would not, please everyone. If you don't like the guidelines that are in place, don't join. March in the parade under the SEBC in whatever costume you want, but if you want to be a part of the 76th, you will follow the guidelines in place. That's the deal. Shiny?

As we now have a message board, I'll try not to take up too much space here.
http://76thbattalion.proboards59.com/index.cgi
(This board requires registration, and only members of the 76th will be aproved).
We are still accepting recruits, and it is not necessary to march in the first parade to be a member. Our home page is located here:
http://76thbattalion.homestead.com/index.html
And the application for membership can be found here:
http://76thbattalion.homestead.com/Application.html
Copy and paste this application into an email and send it to applications_76th at hotmail.com

All of the vital information can be found here:
http://76thbattalion.proboards59.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=di
splay&thread=1167336085
There are strict rules and regulations that all members of the 76th must adhere to, so if there is anything in that link you will have issue with, it's best not to join.

So, all information can now be found off-site, or if you are curious, you can read through the last few threads here on FFF to see what we are all about!

Thanks to all who have joined, and to all who may join!

Might as well put something to look at in here. These are the finalized uniform patterns the 76th will be using.

Type A:
Navy blue headscarf as worn by the officers.

Type B without the mail sleeves, complete with the unpainted helmet:

Detail views of the uniforms:

So...no?

BTW, thought the browncoats from the series wore a WWII GI-type helmet?

Causal..."So, no?" what? Did I miss something...?

And yes, they did...we are allowing for the use of the US and the (pictured) Russian helmets. The Russian ones are close, and they are a bit less expensive.

Really...what did I miss?!?

Causal, if you are talking about the PM you shot me, I did answer it, I swear! Email me directly at tristan71@cableone.net and I will send you the reply...it was a resounding "YES" by the way! There was a bit more to it than that...I'll try the PM again right now...if you don't get it, please email me!
