Hello Everyone I'm Dave, the newest Cadet in the Garrison. I live in Martinsburg and look forward to trooping with everyone once I have a costume created. I am leaning towards an Imperial Officer and or a Tie Fighter Pilot. So, depending on my resources we'll see which way it'll go. :D

It also has been recommended to me that I should be a Jawa so there's another option.

I'm so glad that you are joining Corellia, Dave.

You need to wear the costume, so pick something that you like. Of course, your choice isn't which costume to make, but which to make FIRST. You can always have more than one.

Thanks, Matt. I know I will enjoy the experience and help organizations and charities at the same time. A win, win scenario.

First of all, welcome!

Second of all, if you're not 100% sure what costume to do first, a black Imperial jumpsuit (WampaWear is a good solid choice) is good for, I kid you not, 21 different costumes, including Bridge Crewman, TIE Reserve and Original Trilogy TIE Pilot. Jumpsuit, boots, belt, and hat = bridge crew. Add gloves and a commpad to that and you have a TIE Reserve. Then later on add the helmet, hoses, and chest pieces and you have a full TIE PIlot. Don't want to ramble on too much, as your advisor will be able to tell you a lot more, but I did want to pass on some of the tidbits I've learned since starting my costumes.

Thank you William! I appreciate our discussion last Sunday and had taken what you said to heart. I think I will get the basics so I would be able to start sooner rather than later.

Hello Dave,
Welcome to the forums. I will begin the process of getting you an advisor and getting you started on your first 501st costume. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to me or the rest of command staff.

I personally have experience with Jawas, TIE Reserve and Bridge Crew as well as a few lesser-known costumes.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Thank you Charis. I think my best bet would be a TIE Reserve and move on from there.

Hi Dave! Welcome to the Garrison!
I realize this is a bit late, but it is wonderful to see the progress you are making on your costume(s).
I look forward to meeting you at PopCon this weekend!
