DZFireMedic[TK] Posted August 12, 2019 Author Report Posted August 12, 2019 (edited) TK Troop 3: Cagan Crossing Library-Clermont, FL 8/10/2019 Troop notes: Getting a reputation as “the tall TK”. Taller than most Vaders, I’m almost never asked to take pics standing near or with DV. Sadly. If anyone is willing to invest their money in a Darth Vader build for me, I would gladly troop as one, but I’m sure it’s not as fun as TK trooping.

DZFireMedic[TK] Posted August 14, 2019 Author Report Posted August 14, 2019 (edited) TK Troop 4: Tampa General Hospital Pediatric Unit 8/14/2019 Troop notes: Short troop for such a long drive, but a brother TI made a good point: It’s good that it was a short troop because it means there’s not a lot of sick kids admitted today. This was my first hospital troop and it meant a lot to me because this kind of troop is one of the main reasons I wanted to get into the 501st.

DZFireMedic[TK] Posted October 17, 2019 Author Report Posted October 17, 2019 (edited) TK Troop 12: 10/16/2019 UCF Star Wars Class: 501st Legion invited as Guest speakers. Debuted my HWT TK today! This was one of my favorite troops. It was an opportunity to take off our buckets to the public for folks to ask more personal questions and to speak a little bit about each of our own personal journey when it comes joining and trooping in the 501st. A UCF professor had put together a Star Wars class this semester and had requested that members of the 501st Legion come speak about our mission and personal experiences. His class was structured like an English class and was taught from the prospective of breaking things down culturally, mythologically, and how the movies have lasted through the test of time. He told us that this was the first semester of teaching this class and he had a class of 60 students with a waiting list of near 200. The class began with the troopers in attendance wearing our buckets at the front of the class and our squad CO and XO spoke to the class briefly about who the 501st are. Then they introduced each of us and we took our buckets off one at a time while making a brief introduction, talking about how we got into the 501st, and about the things we enjoy the most about trooping. Our squad leadership put together a great powerpoint with talking points to include Legion structure, ways to join, some Star Wars trivia with some swag giveaways, our most popular troops, our membership statistics and charity goals and totals, and then we opened up the floor to personal questions from the class. We only had about an hour and a half to talk but we filled up the time fast and could easily have stayed much longer. We answered a lot of questions pertaining to "How to join and get started", "Character restrictions", and "Financial obligations". The class was very excited to see us and the Star Wars hype was very high in general! We presented the professor with a special edition squad coin and took a class picture. When the class concluded, we opened up the floor for more pictures and we stayed after for any students to come up to each of and answer any other questions. Even though I was the newest member of my squad in attendance, I was very proud to represent my squad and the FISD at this troop! I can definitely see us being invited back for future classes on campus. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Edited October 24, 2019 by DZFireMedic 4 Quote
