Hello everyone. My name is Crystal Bumpus. I am not currently a member of the 501st, but I am looking to join. I do a lot of trooping with a couple cosplay groups for charity and have worked side by side with the Midsouth Garrison here in Nashville. I will be submitting my second sister for approval. Some of you have probably seen me around as Ahoska Tano. Can't wait to meet you all.

Hey everyone!! I'm Hallie from the very small town of Lexington, AL!! We're situated right on the Tennessee state line, making trooping in both states easy and manageable to do! I met Micheal Richardson at a convention in Huntsville, Al, and recently was at ICCC! I can't wait to meet such wonderful new people!! Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk

My name is Melissa. Those who have met me probably know me as Mara Jade. Been doing this for 6 years now after being introduced by a friend during a bad weekend. ToyRus toy drive was always fun. I’m working on a costume that is six years in the making now, and will be working on another version (or 2) or Mara Jade.

Representing on my travel jacket now !!

Hey John! Nice to meet you! The funny thing is, I'm on the shorter side as well lol

I'm glad to be officially in the 501st! TI-77514 reserve pilot reporting!

Long time fan, first time caller... Hey everyone, This is Whit Thompson out of Knoxville. I have been taking photos for the Knox Eisley Garrison since before they were official and decided to try things on the other side. I presently have an ESB Imperial Bridge Crewman costume that will be making it's first official appearance at Fanboy Expo. - Whit IC-10586

My name is Christian Dunham and im looking to join the 501st legion soon!

Hello everyone my name is Bob Holland. I've been around the 501st in my area for a few years now and finally finished my costume. I live in Louisville KY so I've been around the Derby City Squad pretty much since their inception. I'm extra stoked to get to bring Jawazilla to life and bring joy to the masses.

Hey Tim! Welcome again, so glad we can troop together now!

Hey MSG. looking to get back into the swing of trooping. Been a few years. Just ordered a Shore trooper from Imperial Surplus to get my creative juices going and Clean up my shop. THe kit will be her a month from Junevember. But i feels really good to research a costume again. Looking forward to seeing old faces and new ones alike. Cheers MGS.

Hey everyone! My name is Doug Hahn and my father and I just joined from a galaxy far far away! I'm looking forward to being in the 501st with fellow troopers! Long live the empire!

Old dad here, I have always wanted to do a cos-play of vader, I believe I am going to go the RotS route. My son was a make a wish child and would eventually love to give back as others have given to him when he was young. Not sure if I will ever be to the level of 501st certification but it is a long term goal and something to work towards, for now going to take it in strides, I wish I had done my research before buying a few days ago but just got a Black series helmet, finding out today it will not be allowed but maybe down the road I will get one that is. My next next project I am working on getting STL files to start my chest piece and belt boxes, also waiting for my materials to start on the 1st layer black leather suit to arrive.

Hey Nate!!! Just stopping by to say hi and good luck and enjoy this process. I am by no means and expert with Imperial Commanders, I just TAKE orders from them. Even they make fun of me for being such a short Stormtrooper, but they know my skills. Someone with a better understanding of things for Commander will be here shortly. Oh, Welcome to the Imperial Academy!!!!! Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk

Greetings, my name is Chuck I am a member of the Florida garrison tampa bay squad. I have currently count dooku and a imperial staff officer approved and 2 jedi with the RL

Been looking around and looks like stormtrooper is a bit outside my budget at the moment, so I'm thinking https://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:ID_imperial_officer Problem is I don't know how to sew... Is there anybody in the Knoxville area that could help me learn?

Hey guys! I'm Laryssa, and I recently got my RL stripes in the Corellian Base end of January. Not in the 501st obviously, but Jyn may have a forged scan doc lying around that may say otherwise... I've known of the 501st/RL for years and have always wanted to join, but couldn't decide on a character until Rogue One. I've gotten to meet a handful of you all at a few events the past month or so -- it has been awesome, and everyone's been so welcoming! I'm looking forward to getting out there and doing more

After a year of rebel-rousing, finally officially joined you guys Thanks for being so cool and welcoming this last year - and shout out to Robbie for reminding me to send in my photos!

Submitted pics....got approved by GML....very excited to troop in my Royal Guard. TR14850 Reporting in. Pike should be here within a couple of weeks.

Hey guys and gals. Several of you know me in the Nashville area, as I have been tagging along to events and such for the last 2 or so years, but I will follow instructions and introduce myself. I'm Becki Moore. I am part of several costuming groups in the Nashville area including but not limited to the TN Ghostbusters, Cosplay Collective, Music City Order of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Nashville Avengers and so on. I'm looking forward to my next troop. See you all soon!

Hey all! My name is Joe and I'm an active BB8 builder and have tagged along with a few R2 builders to a local con(fandom fest). I'm looking to get involved so I can bring my BB8 to some future events. Note: BB8 in the photo IS mine, R2 is not. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi, I'm Michael Steinmacher and soon I will reveal myself to the Jedi. I'm in the final stages of finishing up my Darth Sidious/Emperor costume from ROTJ. Looking forward to being part of the MidSouth Garrison!
