So I have about 3 years until I can join the 501st. Once I have my armor done would I be able to tag along to troops with my local garrison?

Once you get your armor done when  you're 18, you'll have to submit it for approval. There's a form you fill out at the 501st.com main site and your local GML (Garrison Membership Liaison) will get in touch with you to get some photos. If everything's good, they'll give you the OK and you'll be a member of the 501st. Then you can troop with whomever you like.

If you're chomping at the bit and want to get your armor done before then, you can also join the Galactic Academy. Sometimes, events will include kids from that group along with 501st, Rebel Legion and Mando Mercs.

My advice? Save your money and wait until you know you're done growing. If you're 15, you're probably not done yet and it would suck to drop money on a nice kit and outgrow parts of it.

Okie thank you! My doctor told me i’ve probably stopped growing so that’s the main reason i’ve started to get into everything.

Fair enough. Still a good idea to save your money and get something good, even if it takes you some time. Do your boots last - guaranteed you'll probably gain a size in the next 3 years.

Either way, good luck and see if you can register on your local garrison forum. Sometimes garrisons will allow prospects like yourself access.
