Femtrooper Julie[501st] Posted October 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 Femtrooper Duty update 10-9-2010 Still no news on my missing ABD plate, the supply TK says it may make it any day now. I put in my transfer papers for Imperial Pilot duty, but they say I have to wait until that uniform arrives via Intergalatic parcel post before I can start training. So until I start flight training, I am just doing regular TK duty. You guys know the drill, same stuff, different planet. is it just me, or do all these outposts start looking alike after a few months? Last night I was detailed to head over to a local Cantina and check identification. Seems there are some missing droids that Lord Vader is VERY hot to find. No droids showed up, but it certainly was a suspicious crowd! We finally wrapped up the checkpoint and my suqad leader let me get some liquid refreshment! I spent the rest of the night engaged in community relations interviews, my squad leader just likes the public to know we are out there in the community. Somehow, even though I am just 4'11", I guess I stand out in a crowd. This local got a little to friendly. We ended up taking him down for public intoxication later that night! He quickly gave up. Guys do not put up much of a fight when I apprend them. Most go willingly! locals like to take photos of me, it seems they have never seen a trooper missing armor pieces before! This local claimed he was dressed as an "80's porn star!", he looked like a nerfherder to me! Still, some of the nerfherders can be sorta cute. This guy was asking a lot of questions, I started to think he might be a rebel pumping me for info! He kept asking for my digits. All of my imperial access codes are classified, and OPSEC is critical. I refused to give him any numbers! This pair was obviously impersonating Imperial Officers, we apprehended them on the spot! The outpost C/O has been looking all over for the guy on the right. We turned around, and he was gone. If anyone sees Waldo, please let me know, there may be a bonus for his capture. DISCLAIMER: This is a work of pure fiction. I am not an Imperial Stormtrooper, or even a real 501st TK. The story did not happen, it is for entertainment purposes only. The names of the innocent have been changed (however Waldo was not!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Femtrooper Julie[501st] Posted October 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 yep, I am tiny! I wanted to rework some of my issues with the armor noe that I know more. Even though I am not 501st legal, the local outpost was kind enough to take me in and help out! The armor experts there reworked my breast palte, shaping it better for me with their heat gun. Mahalos! I have the TE glam trooper kit, and the breast plate is NICE, but about 3" too wide for me. After all the Halloween prep, they are going to help me slice it and bring it in. Should be nice!

Femtrooper Julie[501st] Posted October 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 With a lot of help from the local outpost guys and TK Medical, I have reworked my armor! I want to be the best femtrooper I can be! The biggest improvements were reshaping the chest, and then it need painted. We used white appliance paint, and it turned out great! I added molding cover on the edges, and reworked the straps. Also, I finally got rid of the riveted forearms! I know that bothered many guys out there! I have brand new forearms with no rivets! After watching TK Medical's build I learned a lot and had a better idea of how this stuff works! I added drop boxes too. Then with the new paint, my old parts looked a little yellow, so we had to paint them as well. It looks SO much better! Thank you to all who encouraged me and helped with the rebuild! I do have one of the TE glam trooper sets, and after the Halloween weekend I hope to get some help reworking the breast plate to fit me. It has some wonderful detailing and wil look realy nice, but it is about 3" too wide. We plan to cut a two strips out of the sides and put it back together. Will get some more detailed shots soon, but here is how I looked last night in it!

Femtrooper Julie[501st] Posted November 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 We both had a few tweaks to make after Saturday night, and last night was THE BIG ONE! Waikiki! Last year was fun, but this year I was with matching TK Medical. OMG! It was insane! The Waikiki strip is maybe 2 miles. We parked at a lot on one end, and wanted to make it to an event at the Hyatt Regency at the other. We could not move. We totally stopped traffic. I was totally flash blind! I never expected that much reaction. One thing I learned was after two nights in the platform boots, my feet were raw at the end of the night I like the boost the heels give, but I need to find something more comfortable to wear. TK medical stood the whole time (6 hours-ish in armor). What a trooper! I may have forgot to mention. I got a new FTPT (femtrooper patrol vehicle). It is a 2010 Mustang GT. I can even keep up with the scout troopers in it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Femtrooper Julie[501st] Posted December 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 Just because I got my commision, does not mean I have to turn in my white armor! I femtrooped a craft show this weekend. It was not quite a sci-fi crowd, we did get some looks! LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Femtrooper Julie[501st] Posted April 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 (edited) Just to update you all, I just pay-pal'd, look for me to be a "black widow" soon! I should not have done it, but what the heck, I can eat ramen LOL! Matt on the 501st forum put it together, it is a great look! I am little smaller of course, will need some mods, bu stay tuned for details. Everyone's favorite crazy femtrooper is at it again!

Femtrooper Julie[501st] Posted April 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 Ok, after all this time waiting for my missing Tk armor pieces, I thought if I went pilot I'd get all the flight gear and be good to go. Somehow when I went to get my flight issue, it is still tighter and more shiny than what regular tie-pilots get...seems to be a pattern here! Still, I can not wait to start flight training!

Femtrooper Julie[501st] Posted June 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 A report came in of tusken Raiders hassling a local library. They were roughing up the kids and generally being a nusiance! Myself and Capt Rex headed down to investigate! Turned out that the sandman was a friendly sort. The real trouble maker was this strange toadstool creature (fellow 501st girl Summer!) She put up a fight, but was apprehended without much drama. The library is now secure for the young ones!

Femtrooper Julie[501st] Posted June 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 I must admit, the trooper who told me to go for Juno was a supah-genius. That guy must know a few things about Star Wars! It never occurred to me until it was pointed out, but wow, she is a great fit! I am just SO HAPPY to be 501st approved and be able to participate in these great community service events. Femtrooper is fun, but would not fit in at something like this. Summer normally does Slave Leia (although she has a 501st snow trooper), and she had the same problem...Leia was not a good fit for the library, so she went toad stool.

Femtrooper Julie[501st] Posted June 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 Another day on duty in the Pacific. All of you troopers can rest assured we have the Outpost secure, no worries with Rebel Scum out here! Today we loaded up to liaison with the local MDA Summer Camp. You know the drill, hearts and minds. I really hope someone got a photo, but there was a sweet girl at the camp who took Capt Rex by the hand and walked out to the beach. She asked him to teach her his moves from the TV show because bullies would pick on her at school. CC5707 spent a lot of time talking with her, and then brought her over to meet Capt Juno. She had no idea that the Empire allowed females to serve. And now she is dedicated to joining! My 501st trading card is not done, I really wish I had something to give her! She was so sweet!

Femtrooper Julie[501st] Posted June 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 Time again for a little undercover work! This time I was trying to impersonate a battle Padme look! Don't worry, I am still Imperial all the way! People tell me to look more serious when aiming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Femtrooper Julie[501st] Posted July 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 Hmm, no one likes my Padme look? I had the honor of attending a Pacific Outpost Dinner in honor of two special Visitor for the Japan Garrison Kenichi and Ki. She is the only Juno in Japan! It was a great time at Hard Rock Waikiki. If anyone is visiting our little Outpost, please let me know! I put in a bid for Trooper Fest here, I wish we had won. I promise that everyone would have had a great time! I am sure some of you know some of the folks in the photo! The famous Holmes Trooper is there, along with The Lone Trooper. My biddy Wet Okole is the guy with the big smile beside me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Femtrooper Julie[501st] Posted July 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 And of course I had to get the new "Black Widow" shirt! unfortunately they up-sized the order, so it was not snug like I prefer my shirts. I can still make it look cute though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
