Salvation Army troop with Mississippi Rancor Raiders

[Geaux Saints[TK]]

Here's my third troop since I've joined the Rancor Raiders this month. We rang the Salvation Army bell in Brandon, MS at the local Walgreens. The reception was phenomenal and the Red Bucket was completely full at the end of our time. Trooping has been more rewarding to me than I could have possibly imagined. Lots of wonderful and dedicated people in our Garrison. I'm very proud to be a part of it. One of the head guys of the Salvation Army heard of the "commotion" at our location and showed up to check things out himself. He was so impressed and so grateful for all that we were doing. We told him that we would like for this to be an annual thing for us and he WHOLE Heartedly agreed. The weather was perfect.

 

Me and Fett starting out the day ringing the bells. For the record, I'm the shorter TK (with a holstered blaster) in the rest of the pics

Fun in the sun! Good work, trooper - funny how the TKs stand out against all other characters!

[Potty Meister]

Your armor looks great dude. Nice work. Glad you're having fun!

[Rezablad3[TK]]

Great stuff..thanks for sharing..

[Pickles[TK]]

Looking good and doing good. It's great being a TK isn't it?

[TK9926]

Thats great news! Good work troopers.

[Geaux Saints[TK]]

Yes, Ingrid, other than Vader....the TKs definitely standout. I had people walking up to get pictures and walked by Vader to get their first pic with me.

 

Thanks, Jay! Paul makes great looking armor.

 

I'm having a blast! It is definitely fun, especially when it benefits charity. I can't wait to find out how much we collected.

[Vader Rocks]

Great job for a great cause. Kind of cool how the crowds flock to the TK's first huh?

[Teach]

Well done. Looking good for a good cause.

UPDATE: Just found out that we raised just under $400 in a 5 hours period. We were told the average was $100 per bucket and we gathered 4x that. Pretty awesome! Way to go Rancor Raiders!

Dude man... your TK came out great. I'm not sure how I didn't notice before.

 

Remind me why you're not applying for EIB before the end of the year?

Thanks for the compliment! Because of issues regarding me getting half of a Doopydoos blaster, I don't have the weapon to apply for EIB or Centurion. Darth Voorhees is working on a kit that will hopefully be ready by the end of January. When I get the weapon, I will be ready to apply for Centurion status.

Oops. Doopy only sent you part of a blaster? Lame.

 

What's in your holster in these photos? (sounds like a personal question doesn't it? Just happy to see us?)

Well, I don't think it was Doopys fault on the half blaster. I think it was the mail system. They said they sent replacement parts, but I've yet to see them (and that's been about two and a half months). The blaster I have in my pics is a Hyperfirm blaster I've been borrowing from a fellow trooper for our troops.
