I hit #10 a few weeks ago the Fort Worth Festival of Lights Parade! Details on my trooper log.

TROOP #10 - Fort Worth Parade of Lights 11/24/2024 Troop 10! I totally forgot to post it here a few weeks ago, but here it is. This was an insane event, there were so many members marching, and THOUSANDS of people attending the parade it was awesome. TK-54832 and I also had fun decking out our kits in Christmas livery. We also marched with the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Tarrant County, to raise awareness for the program.

First Troop! Well done!

Oh man that dancing gif is so precious! My local Garrison has dubbed me the "dancing stormtrooper" cuz of stuff like this. It's too fun not to join in!

Simon Pegg is awesome!

TROOP #9 - Commemorative Air Force Aviation Discovery Fest 10/05/2024 So close to Troop 10! This one was really fun. We all know the Ven Diagram between Star Wars fans and WW2 buffs is practically a circle, and I'm right in the middle of it! It was really fun to not only be trooping, but also see real warbirds taking off, landing, flying overheard, and there was so many other cool vehicles and exhibits. Also got to troop with my buddy TK-54832 which is always a treat! Two TKs are better than one! (wish they had told me to bend down a bit, I'm covering the words!) Comparing Blasters Think i'd make a pretty good Tank Trooper

Woah! someone made a full kit of that fan-art medic trooper??? Is that approvable? That's awesome!

Scrolling down to see your latest - The Death Trooper is great! Gonna be epic for upcoming Spooky season!

Congratz on troop number 1! I would definitely have been nervous to go solo!

TROOP #8 - Dallas Heart Walk 9/21/2024 A few of us troopers attended the Dallas Heart Walk on Saturday! This event raised over 4 MILLION dollars for the American Heart Association - incredible! We took pictures with families before the walk started, and then joined in on the post walk celebrations. They had us draw the raffle winners on stage which was fun. Edit: The snowie in the pictures is also my approval day buddy! So it was cool to meet and troop with him for the first time! Before the walk They asked up to pose for the photo booth And as usual, I ended up dancing, while we we were waiting to go on stage. https://i.imgur.com/cuO53wF.mp4

TROOP #7 - Dallas Stronger 2gether Parade 9/15/2024 Another Parade, and a Pride one at that! Having missed out on June Pride stuff (I was finishing my armor) I was excited to bring out the "Bi-Trooper" for the first time! The weather wasn't as nice as Labor day (It was back to the usual Texas heat) but it was so worth it to see how excited people were when they saw us there to support the community. Representation matters, and there were multiple people who specifically were excited to see the Bi-Trooper. Next time, I'll even get the pattern right on the armor! The flagpole has already paid off as an investment, can bring it to all the parades! I already had this flag, and I have an Empire one of course!

TROOP #6 - Garland Labor Day Parade 9/2/2024 After a super busy August, I was finally able to suit up again and make it to a troop. I officially love being in Parades. The weather was incredible (for Texas standards) mid 70s with a nice breeze, which allowed us to have so much fun walking through downtown and interacting with the people of Garland. Even though dozens of kids would call out asking "WHERE'S BABY YODA!!!" There were still tons of people who were excited to see us. Official Pic from the Parade Pre-parade pics

TROOP #5 - Sidequest Arcade grand opening 7/6/2024 TK-54832 and I once again in the field! The grand opening of the Arcade was an "all day event" so we decided to do a couple hours in the morning, go out for some lunch, then come back for a couple hours at the "peak" time in the afternoon. It was a lot of fun, and there was even a Mariachi band! (Yes that's me dancing.) (I'm on the right) Still waiting on more pictures from the event photographer, but in the meantime, here are some photos from from one of my coworkers, who sent them to me without knowing I was one of the troopers! 🤣 ! We had a good laugh about it. Dance Video

Yes, yes it is! Got my second troop tomorrow!

The page that started my obsession with Stormtroopers all those years ago! Some awesome troops so far man great work!
