TrooperGonzo 4 Report post Posted February 4 Hi all, I’ve been part of the 501st since February 2015 as a member of the New England Garrison up in the Boston area. I recently relocated to Knoxville, TN in Farragut. I’ve trooped as a TK, and am Centurion level. I recently acquired a commission for a Tie Pilot through RS Props that I will want to get approved soon, but could use some help with some tweaks before I submit. I look forward to trooping with you all, and would appreciate any connections who have experience with TIs. Thanks! Jorge (aka Gonzo) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord_Kosh 462 Report post Posted February 5 Welcome to the area... I'm sure others will be able to help you with this, and Knoxville has a local squad within the garrison right there in Knoxville. Please check the squad event calendar... and most of them would be opened to you coming out to meet them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CrazyMarlin 136 Report post Posted February 16 Welcome! My first approval was TIE pilot, so happy to help out in any way I can. I'm a native New England transplant as well. I grew up in Rhode Island. My dad is still there and my sister lives outside Boston in Braintree. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TrooperGonzo 4 Report post Posted February 17 Hey Braden it’s great to meet you! I lived in Millbury right near Worcester. I trooped most often with the Lil Rhody Squad. They were the best, and my closest friends in the NEG so I gravitated to the RI troops. I may take you up on the TIE help. I’ll PM you. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My aunt and uncle have a place up there - now it is called Belaire, I believe, but we still call it Central Lake. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
