We represent a newly-formed unit of Independent soliders at the outbreak of the hostilities (prior to Du Khang and Serenity Valley).
First and foremost, remember that this is a fan-based organization, and our first rule is "Show up. March. Have Fun!"

Our inaugural march took place at DragonCon in Atlanta in September of 2007.

We do have a few rules and regulations that must be met in order to be considered as a member, including uniform requirements and weapons requirements. These will be outlined below. Please be sure to read over all the information and confirm that you can meet all of these requirements before applying for membership. We are not trying to keep people out, but we do want to present a united, uniform Battalion of Independent soldiers, and one of the best ways to do this is to look the same.

Got a bit of a shower here last night, but it amounted to nothing. A bit overcast today, and 40% chance of rain, which we really need.

Hope everyone had a good weekend and stayed cool. Hit 104 Saturday and Sunday.

Hope you get some too Sister. We got a couple of showers last night and they are calling for more this afternoon. It broke the humidity for about 6 hours, but it's beginning to climb again. At least we are down in the high 80s instead of in the 100s so far this week.

I'd just love to be at SDCC, anywhere. I could see HK, Akin, and all the other shiny 'coats at the con, not to mention all the shiny and wonderful things to do, see, purchase!

Fairly certain I would not be camping out overnight for a panel that will wind up on a tv special, dvd, or on YouTube at some point. I'd rather spend that time with people I know doing fun things.

You might be on to something there Sister. Supposed to have 40% chance of thunderstorms late this afternoon and early tomorrow. Hope the rain will help break the humidity, if only for a bit.

Happy Friday troops!

Can't say as I blame you Sister. Hopefully all is well and you get a clean bill of dental health.

Prepping to get the kids off to college. Daughter moves out this coming Sunday. Both she and my son start classes on Monday. Going to be quiet around the house without them around, but I am looking forward to some down time alone with the wife. Be fun to "date" again, not have to worry overly much about the kids, and plan things for just the two of us.

Projected path of the storm show it hitting New Orleans than heading up through Arkansas, Missouri, then into Illinois. You should see a bit of rain from the edges of the storm.

Course hurricanes being what they are, and being fickle of nature, who's to say what Issac will really do.

I know that Pvt Griffin is in Louisiana so I hope he is keeping his head down. Same goes for all the browncoats and their families in the areas the storm will touch.

Hump Day indeed! And more than half over! Now to survive the rest of the week. *sigh*

Yep, Akin is in ATL with the LtC and his Mrs. I do believe that Sgt Jay and his lovely wife have arrived as well. I bet the Bunker is a lively place indeed. Wish I were there.

Well, technically a fair number of them met last night. Seems a couple of Purplebellies showed up with warrants for the LtC, Doc, and me, but didn't meet with the success that they might have hoped for in bounding anyone by law. Hear lots of Tall Card was played. Not sure who got stuck doin' dishes or taking out the trash, but I hear fun was had by all.

LtC in his adled advanced age apparently left his cell phone at home and as such all calls to him have to be routed through his wife type.

Hope they are all having a great time.

Akin posted a couple of pics up on his Flikr account.

Such a cruel twist of the universe; 'short' weeks due to a holiday always feel longer than a week without a holiday. At least it's Friday Eve.

I don't know Sister, mine doesn't feel so terribly long. Course I am ready for the weekend.

So D*C has come and gone again. Already making plans for next year. Marriott Marquis and Hyatt Regency rooms go online first of October. D*C memberships are currently on their site for $65 through Sept 14th then the price will go up. Got to get mine purchased this week.

I hope so Sister.

Had a good weekend. Hot on Saturday, but plowed through 4 hours of yard work and outdoor projects.

Sunday was very mild. Only got up to 78, low humidity. Got a long ride in, than went downtown with the little lady for a long stroll and window shopping and brunch at our favorite French cafe. Came home than took another long walk in the park to make the most of the gorgeous weather.

Promises to be a beautiful week. Temp in the high 70s and breezy first half of the week. I could hope for an early spring, but knowing Virginia weather we will get a couple of weeks of Indian Summer prior to true fall weather.

Hump Day!

Weather is still mild during the day, if a bit cool in the morning. Have to wear a hoodie and vest to ride the bike in since the mornings are averaging mid 50s here this week. Not that I'm complaining.

Hope everyone is having a good week.
