Tristan, I'll be there and am excited to be part of the 76th.
If you are looking for a good NCO, I'm your man. I was a sergeant (E-6) in the Rangers & I think I can help whip this bunch into shape.

I will be there, proudly marching with the 76th as a medic, complete with First Aid 'tonics' and 'medicine'. I will be alone as well (as it seems many of us will be, so we can keep each other company) and I don't care what rank I am, though I do agree that Tristan should be in charge of us all.
I plan to begin to assemble the costume when I have the available finances, thanks to the shiny links that have been provided by everyone.
BWTP - the website looks great, thanks for working so hard on it

Hi All,
Been following all of the 76th's threads.I've been dying to join and just now have time to post.I thought I was the only one to consider doing something like this.Silly me.I will do my damnest to be there.I would even volunteer to be an officer.
Also,I'm blown away by the level of collaboration by folks on this thread.My hat's off to you.Myself,I have limited time but would still like to help somehow.
Tristan: I do hope you realise what you've set in motion here! This is one of the most shiny happenings ever!

Welcome to all the marchers! I know there are some out there who posted on the other threads but have not "made their mark" here yet.
NaughtyMan, thank you for that. Glad you have decided to march with us! I am pretty sure you have checked out the other threads, but if not, there is a lot of info in them regarding costuming, weapons, ranking, etc. Again, welcome!
And I was also surprised at the reaction to this...I had no idea there were that many interested!

I am now officially depressed.
I was planning on going to Dragoncon next year, and your marching orders just made me more interested and excited.
But I finally did the math and there's just no way for me to afford it. The exchange rate is killing me. The whole deal would cost me R23 000-00. Approximately two months' salary.
Now I'm sad.
Sad and depressed.
Sad and depressed and disgusted.
What would be the chance of convincing the organisers to rather do the 'con in SA? *smiling hopefully*
*smile slips* Not all that great I suppose...
Oh well....Can I do a virtual march?
I'm thinking we'll rise again!

I'm trawling for cheaper flights.
Maybe on one of the lesser known airlines.
If I can cut down on flights and accommodation I could maybe see a light on the end of the tunnel....without the light being the on coming train!
I can search for airline tickets from here, but what's the accommodation like?
On the Dracon*con site it says approx. 150 dollars a night. Is that then high-end or standard fares? Would I be able to get cheaper close by?
(I know next to nothing of dollar purchase power and how prices relate....)
I really want to make a trip to the US and this sounds like an excellent excuse to do so... But it has to be more affordable!
I'm thinking we'll rise again!

Canter, I do know that the more people in the room, the lower the prices. I am a newbie at this...it will be my second Con...but I do know that Browncoats are always looking for roommates, and that there are several nearby hotels with lower prices. I would suggest posting on the D*C thread when it appears....or there may already be one. Let people know what you are planning on doing, and there will be plenty of responses.
I hope to see you there!

Last year when my brother went he shared a room with 3 people, which menat he spent $150 for 3 nights total, if you do not mind floorspace instead of a bed you could probably stay at that main hotel and get the price down even further.
I think he even had some offers of free crash space.
Canter,
your best bet is to keep up to date with the 76th's growth and if there becomes an appropriate space for it post you are looking for a roommate and explain why (aka flying to America and how much the trip is going to cost you etc.), or you see someone looking for a roommate that is your chance!
tristan, my mind constantly whirls in multiple directions at once, the trick is typing as the thoughts come to me and worrying about organizing the thoughts and fixing typos later.

ArtCat, thank you. I guess I should have said that I have roommates this time...FFG, RIMG, and others have offered me space...but thank you for the tips. Canter can use them!
I know what you mean...my thoughts come and go quicker than I can type them sometimes!

I will be taking advantage of roomate offers as well. I'll take anyone, but I'd rather room with the 76th (that's not entirely true, I'd rather room with a bunch of women-of-questionable-virture
). Anyway, as time goes on Tristan, we'll have to form a roomate thread, bunk as many people together as we can. Five people in a room could get costs down to $30 a night, and I've already said I'll sleep on the floor.

Please may I march? I wanna march... I even added our patch to my signature - though I don't have a slogan... or a position... or any roommates... but I am capable of sleeping almost anywhere and I can put one foot in front of the other - so... I'm in??!!
Canter - I feel your pain - I am working every extra job I can and trying to make all the money I can so that I can afford to fly over from Australia, but I have bought my D*C membership and I have made the commitment, and I have so many shiny friends over there I have the motivation too!

Okay. Everyone on here is on the site (unless I've lost my mind and missed someone). If you have not been added, please PM me or respond to this message and I will correct the problem post haste.
Also, for those marching with us, I need hometowns (city, state, country) and a name you would like to appear after your rank. Doesn't have to be your real last name, but it can't be your handle on here as that is your callsign. Also, if you wouldn't mind signing our map, you can find it here:

That is major Shiny-ness to make it over from South Africa! Sort of makes us "locals" look bad. Course, I already have my ticket, I will be there and I will be marching, as Zoe, sort of.

Canter I got the info I need from you, NVG and FFG, I'll need a last name (real or made up) hometown (city, state and country) and I'll use your handle from here as a callsign. NVG, if you don't mind, can I drop the NV and just use GhostRider?

We give honorary positions to those that have made large contributions to the unit. Boomer is an honorary because she and her husband are making the lanyards for the group, are offering assistance in leather working to the troops, etc. Come to think of it, I think it's harder to get an honorary rank than it is to get a regular rank.

Morning, all!
I want to go ahead and post something regarding "joining" the 76th. The XO and I have talked about this and agreed that everyone who wants to join should be able to. This is, after all, just another way for fans to show their love. So, if you want to be a member of the 76th, feel free to sign up! Even if you are not able to march at D*C, there will be other marches or cons or shindigs in which you can show off. We will have patches and all sorts of other items to purchase, make, find, etc., so everyone should be able to create their own uniform.
The one thing we are a bit more strict on is the ranking. Everyone is considered a Private unless they have or will be giving something to the group in terms of skills, advice and expertise, etc.; they are not automatic, nor do they give anyone any "real" authority. Remember, this is an imaginary battalion
For the sake of the march, I would like to try to follow military guidlines as far as discipline. I am not talking about walking in lockstep down the street...that would not be the Independent way! I would like to see some semblance of order, though, as I am sure most of us would...it will look very impressive, don't you think?
So, in a nutshell, even if you can't march, feel free to join. Rank is given on merit/contributions, but everyone is equal in terms of input.

I notice people are looking for jobs, so at other's recomendation, I am posting some of the structure in a Marine Corps Infantry battalion.
At the Battalion level, each S- Shop has a specific job.
S-1 is administration, personnel records, documents, promotions, pay,etc.
***I think this is an easy choice- anyone in the S-1 shop would be web-admin, roster/roll call/personnel file database maintainance. If there was a call for an administrative Officer, without worrying about how their rank would relate to the Chain of Command, this would be the place.
S-2 is intelligence, meaning foreign and domestic, location of friendly troops, enemy positions (anywhere in the world), satellite maps, weather reports, etc.
***I imagine that a 76th Infantry S-2 shop would handle location of events, fans, sci-fi cons, etc. anything that could be useful information to the group. Intel never knopws what they are going to be asked for information-wise until it gets asked for.***
S-3 is Operations, or "planning". This is the S Shop that handles everything from planning a simple rifle range on base here in California to a "Pointman" range in Australia, to the route for a Battalion 3- mile run, to a rescue mission in the Sunni Triangle.
***Event planners pretty simple, but horribly complex. they also compile the information from S-2, what the Supply Train (or "Log Train" for "Logistics") can provide for the troops involved (water, food, badges, patches, merchandise, etc? I can only imagine), S-5 Public Relations, S-6 Communications, etc.
S-4 is Logistics, or the Supply guys. They handle getting the three B's to the troops (Beans, Bullets, and Band-Aids).
***In the real world, that would be Merchandise with the 76th logo, posters, setting up and arranging for tables, water, snacks if apllicable, places at sites to lock up all of the material/merchandise. They would be responsible for their own security alongside S-3 "Operations".
S-5 is Public Relations. This includes Psychological Operations, Pre-Bombing flyer creation, etc. they also handle press releases about training, after-action reports, etc..
***This is a direct translation one. Not a lot of changes to this one.
S-6 is communications, or the Comm Shop. They handle all internet access, intranet (regarding operations/mission info and planning, messages). They also handle field radios, computer tech support and set-up.
*** Another direct translation. Possibly the guys/gals who talk to the webmaster or run it themselves.
Each shop has an Officer, senior enlisted, and a clerk.
Sometimes they get a spiff nickname. The S-3 Officer is the "Ops O", the S-4 Officer is the "Suppo", Etc.
Also, in the infantry, there are further divisions of manpower, with "billets" taking or sometimes superceding rank.
Marine Corps Infantry division of billets-
4 Marines= Fireteam
Team Leader
Grenadier(M16/M203)/Designated Marksman
Automatic Rifleman
Rifleman
3 Fireteams= Squad
3 Squads= Platoon
1st Platoon
2nd Platoon
3rd Platoon
Weapons Platoon (Machine Guns, Mortars, Assaultman)
Headquarters Platoon (Usually small, just the paperwork guys/armorer, and the Senior Staff NCOs)

Sorry about that BC1, I've only been getting about half of my PMs it seems, I know Tristan has sent me at least one I haven't gotten as well. I may have gotten it, but with all the emails I've been getting regarding the 76th, it may have gotten lost in the shuffle. You're officially updated.
The next few weeks are going to be very hectic for me, it being the holidays and all, so I wouldn't expect any major updates to the site before the 1st of the year. I ask that all of you please be patient with me, and I will get everything in there when I can.

USMCHELLRAISER, thanks for the excellent detail on what a real army is like. Those of us who merely read about and play solider will always miss some details.
Given the rought analogy Whedon hypothecates between Browncoats and Butternuts, would an Idependent army be organized the same way as Alliance? Would an Indepdndent batallion more resemble a collection of militia companies, more like the way the CSA raised regiments early in the conflict?

Well, only way to know for sure is to ask Joss.
That being said, we know that the book which triggered this whole shiny thing was Joss' reading about the Civil War in The Killer Angels. Between that, and the descriptions of the 'Verse scattered tween the varied "companion" books and the RPG, I'd say the analogy is perfectly apt.Thinking a little further? The Independent Worlds were the less developed ones. Less resources, less tech, less money, less industrial base. Independent forces are portrayed in the Verse as mostly light infantry, and that squares well with what the Independents could afford. Rifles, anti-roller... ahem, anti-armor weapons that a soldier could carry, machine guns. It's possible that the Independents didn't even have a lot of artillery, and that infantry carried laser designators to target high-value Alliance targets for the few missiles or orbital KKWs available to the Independent general defending a planet.
Following CSA army models is probably not a bad way to build portrayals which match the 'Verse That Is in the DVDs. *twinkle* For example, I've applied for scout/sniper with the 76th. Scouts and skirmishers seem to fit the tone better than talking about "recon teams" -- which would be closer to current military practice.
YMMV, of course... but we Independents of the 76th?
Motivated, proud, but outgunned and out-supplied.
Sounds like what Joss described; yep.

Thanks for the detailed reply.
We are a bandd of KNOWLEDGEABLE brothers, that much is evident.
Also, for the exact location of CSA butternet pants with optional infantry Sargeant's strip, see
http://www.blockaderunner.com/Catalog/catpg14.htm
amd find the text
"STANDARD INFANTRY TROUSERS"
and for the NCO stripe, the text
"STRIPE OR PIPING "
'butternet' is extra (!!) so the cost of butter NCO all wool pants with the regulation 1" wide stripe will be $ $125. (65+30+30) - and you'll have to wear drawers underneath or your legs will itch!
Turning back to organization;
Given that Independents would be raised local to a particular location, I'd expect that you would first see sharpshooter detachments first organized informally within the batallion (regiment) and then gathered within the brigade, which is what happens in the Army of Northern Virginia. In contrast, the US service had two entirely independent batallions of United States Sharp Shooters (USSS) with special uniforms (dark green with black rubber buttons) and weapons (Sharps breech loading rifles).
So, let us suppose the 76th is an element of the 57th Brigade. The sharpshooters might be cathered into a 'converged' battalion during an engaement, then returned to their parent battalions.
I'd also note that unlike current practice, the Indy batallions have their own identity - they are 1/57, but more like the regiments in a Civil War brigade. As you all may remember, all regiments in a CS brigade would nearly always be from the same 'state' - I suppose that would be analagous to 'planet' in our 'Verse.
I'd speculate that the Alliance would be much more like the US army of WWII - 'vanilla legions'.
Indies are 'fire and manuever',
Alies are 'mass and blast'
et al.
This is way too much fun and is keeping me from work.
Oh well, another time consuming vice is born.
Regards,

Well, not a problem, Roon...there will be plenty of opportunities to march with us or meet up with us at other Shindigs. We look forward to meeting you.
As far as advancing in rank, everyone basically starts out as a Private. To advance is a matter of time and what you can bring to the 76th overall in terms of skills, "products", etc. BabyWithThePower is the one in command that deals with the ranking, so he may be the best to answer this question.
Again, welcome aboard, and we hope to see you on the other threads...and eventually in person, too!

We are currently basing rank strictly on a contribution basis. There will be some exceptions (which Tristan and I have discussed) but basically you'll stay a Private until such a time that you've made a contribution. I've also got some other ideas that I have to flesh out first on the back burner as well.
Also wanted to note that all persons who have given me their info the last few days will be included on the next update.
