Should have my Spat armor done by then. Be my first con appearance as USCM. Hope to meet up with the local Marines.

Be a sight more comfortable than my Imperial armor, too.

Well I will be there in either Smart Gunner or lite SG setup. We should consider linking up for a patrol.

Heck yes we should. Being a rounder Marine I had to make some mods to the armor. Mainly I added straps on the back to help hold my belt. When loaded with pouches, welder, and holster it likes to slide down as I found out at Dragon Con a couple years back. Also if needed I have a spare pulse rifle. Not sure what my daughter wants to do for costume, but if she doesn't do the dropship pilot I will have and extra holster and resin VP70.

As i will be checking into a new Ship that month and have no clue if they have any underways or Deployments at that time. But if im clear and i have the cash me and the wife should be up there so another Rifle man and Smartgunner.

Looks like we'll have at least a fire team at ECCC. Be sure to get your tix early, if you can. The con has started selling out in recent years.

New recruit here. I just ordered my gear and will be suiting up in Seattle. I'm really looking forward to meeting other CMs.

I am going to get a unit patch sewn up for us USCM here in the NW. Does anyone have any feed back as to what ship we could do? USS Duwamish, USS Tahoma are two I can think of as a basis.

"If you are going to die, die with a real weapon. Not a little sissy gun like that. "

I'm liking both.

Sweet. Im going to contact a patch maker soon and see what I can have done. Im willing to foot the entire upfront cost on the smallest patch run. Also the ECCC schedule comes up next week, we can figure out a good patrol time too....

Dealing with some serious health issues, so I'm now a "maybe" on this mission. All depends on how treatment goes and how I feel later this month. Still want to get my bucket signed!

OK, we are week out from the drop. I have my Block 2 vest done with just the lamp left to attach. I will be in SG rig on Friday for sure, and maybe Sunday. I'll have to dump it for sure on Saturday thou. let me know if anyone wants to group up.

Sorry for adding to the thread so late. My friend and I will be geared up tomorrow--SG gear for me and Spat armor for him. Hope to see you all there.

Sweet. I'll be in SG gear most of Sunday, hope to link up at somepoint.

Be sure to post pics. Chemo knocked me out this week so I'm a no-show.

These are my two pre-patrol shots. I have a few shots of some fun things I saw I'll dig out. My facehugger had his own sign, "Free Face Hugs", but no one took him up on it.
