Well, even if I don't go I'll be interested in a vest. Keep me posted. I saw the G36 sniper version, but there was a sweet looking one I saw too (i'll have to get the link). I plan on having the G36 as well as my main weapon and the sniper rifle slung over my back. Again, all this is tentative, I probably won't make a decision until after the first of the year.
I was also throwing around the idea, if you guys like it, of having certain people with different positions in the unit, like the Medic, but expand to include things like snipers, greaderes, machine gunners, etc. Their equipment would obviously change depending on their position (details to be discussed). Or go one farther and have things like cavalry (most likely air), heavy infantry, etc. Just some ideas. Also, any idea how we're going to differentiate rank? They didn't by chance, give rank insignia in the visual companion did they?
Oh, and it won't do a great job of keeping the beer cold, but I have a bunch of ammo bandoliers (we called the Beer-doliers) left over from my Army days. I could try and find them and bring them out. Here's a pic of them in action (that's not me in the pic, that's my buddy Flemming)
(edit: sorry didn't notice the pin-up girl behind him until after I posted it. Uploaded the edited pic)

RIMG, well, depending on how many of those bottles you brew, we may have to run several tests to see how many would fit in a bag...sounds like a really good excuse for a road trip!
I had also thought of something along the lines of a bunch of coozy's stagger-stitched together, kind of like a bandolier of beer bottles. It obviously needs some thinking through for practicality, so give me a bit of time on that.
As for the pattern, not a problem. As soon as I get one together that everyone likes, I'll make it available via email.
I should have one gun by the middle of next week, and one a little while after that. Should be fun!

And here comes BWTP to answer our needs! RIMG, that is something like I was talking about, but with a bit more concealability for the beer...
BWTP, I am not sure how many of us are going to be there. I think the idea of different MOS's is great, but I am also not sure of the rankings, etc. I think there is something in the Companion showing one of the ranks, but I'll have to check it again.

Concealability could be a concern. If you want, once I find one, I could mail it to you so you can use it as a basis for whatever you might design.

I forgot to mention, I know their rank had to be similar to what we use today (at least somewhere in the universe) because Jayne's 'Maidenhead shirt', the one that had all the patches on it had an upside down Sergeant First Class. Maybe that's what we could do, just use Army Rank flipped upside down? (Obviousyl wouldn't work for Specialist, and Officers rank might have to be worked on too)

BWTP, I love the bandoliers, and would send you some cashy money if you sent me a couple. I think they can be modified, or the beer can be kept really cold until it is time to load them up. Either way, I want a couple to play with.
I am clueless on rank (as a civilian I was supposed to learn the ones for the AF but I never really bothered to, though I do know that more bars is better) but I think it might be a good idea to have it, though I can see it causing problems as well with people not getting to be the rank they want to (though we can be completely unrealistic in the representation of the numbers, as if the officers were marching while the rest of the men stayed behind [more for the taunting of the 501st than anything]).
Wow, I am rambling. Better cut it off now.

I've got several, and all I really need it 2. I wouldn't even expect money, it's just a matter of finding them. I still have like 20 boxes I never unpacked.

Oh, and here's another thing...our Brigade numbers...on the deleted scene from the pilot that I ripped the screencaps from, Zoe mentioned the 76th as having "lost another four" or something like that. The 76th were also at Serenity Valley, and they were mentioned, so I thought perhaps we could take that as our own?
Thoughts or other ideas?

76th sounds good to me. Question is, what will we be? Mal was in the 'Overlanders" which, if you break the word down (over land) I'm guessing is their version of ground pounders, infantry. Would we use the same or take something else?
