OK so our Captian is a big star wars nerd, and he invited other nerds of that sort to bring thier costumes over...... and this is the result. Helmets a little BIG dont you think..........

Can't you get in a spot of trouble mixing mil uniform with civilian wear. You had better not get nabbed doing that when I was in the 82nd. The chain of command was kinda funny about that.

Well, since the captian invited these nerds in, I think I am safe from uniform mixin troubles.

The real story behind the name '501st' is rather unremarkable. I wanted something that sounded military, had a big number, and ended in a 'one' to give it a little authenticity. I also wanted a number that would be alliterative if used in a motto, and I've always liked the motto "Fighting SeaBees" from WWII. Either 400 or 500 sounded good, because both began with a 'f' sound. I liked 500 better, just because it's one of those nice round numbers. So 501 worked when I added the '1'. The only problem was that, at the time, Levi's 501 jeans were still popular and I was taking a risk that we'd have that joke haunting us. But, luckily, I only heard us being called the "Button Fly Troopers" only once.

Here'n I thought it was a tribute to the 501st PIR.
