A: No, it shouldn't effect anyone that is an RL member too. There's alot of guys over at CT.N that are in the RL too.
A: That's a good thing. We need more GM's in the 501st.

Ramz,
Question #1: Being a member of a 501st detachment will have no effect on membership with the Rebel Legion. As a matter of fact, as per Lucasfilm, the 501st is cooperating and working more closely with the Rebel Legion to promote Star Wars overall. Garrison Carida, in which I reside, has many members that have joint membership.
Question #2: I will check into this, but I do not think you have to be a member of the 501st. From what I have read into the requirements and definition, a detachment is a separate group outside of the 501st Legion (but obviously associated with it). As far as CO, XO, etc. I believe that is handled and decided within the detachment and it would be the call of the detachment. If you are not a member of the 501st, you would not be able to vote in the 501st elections, but elections within the detachment would be will ALL its members. This proposed detachment would be open to everyone, 501st members or not, but there would probably have to be a section or forum designated for 501st members only (formality).

I thought that in order to be in a 501st detachment, one must be a member first. That's how it works in the Rebel Legion.

Hello fellow Marines. Let me introduce myself because I haven't been here in months.....over a year maybe? I was one of the first Troopers in the 501st Legion to get the GM approval, 4th or 5th, way back in January 2008. I was never fully happy with my costume because most of it was scratch built and very little of the specific GM parts were avalible or even made at that time.
So a Detachment? You've got a lot of convincing to do to pull it off. Is there enough activity? Will it make the costume better? Tough call.
As far as the name EVERYONE identifies the 53rd with the Galactic Marine. It goes hand in hand with the Costume. When Torsoboy made the 1st GM and this website THAT made both together. Not taking the name would be an injustice to the Costume in my opinion.
The last thing I wanted to say is that any of you that are 501st members need to get over to CT.net and get involved in the Detachment discussion there. Two pages on it and no active GMs involved? Not the way to convince anyone of the case for a Detachment.

I know alot of people that don't indentify the GM costume with the 53rd. They do whoever indentify with clonetroopers.net & the 21st Nova Corps (just like the guys that costume as the 327th Star Corps, you know Commander Bly, etc.?).

If you are doing a Clone you get refered to CT.net and if you are doing a GM you get sent there then here. There is no approved or GM in the process that doesn't come here and know the 53rd. If someone is doing a GM and doesn't know the 53rd their GM will be lacking. Ken they might not have changed your permissions to see the 501st section yet. When did you request access?

Wally,
Just applied for access yesterday, although they stated "DONE". I tried again today, but still no access.

If someone is doing a GM and doesn't know the 53rd their GM will be lacking. Not necessarily. There is a "Galactic Marine" forum over at CT.N that people refer to all of the time. Take my friend Barry (Banzai88) for instance, he's working on a GM & has posted twice here, but has 278 posts over at CT.N. In all honesty, this website is a subforum from CT.N. Torsoboy (the founder of this subforum) sold his GM a long time ago (along with you, Wally). I did not mean any disrespect, I just have some vision about the potential that this group has. I appreciate all of the work that he's done here, but in my opinion, I think it's time for a "makeover", so-to-speak. Especially since we are thinking of changing the logo & pushing for more GM costuming merchandise like, patches, shirts, etc.
