Newbie Question for Garrison Advice

[Kilika]

Hello all,

Due to work I'm moving my family to California in the next week and will then be working on finishing all those respective logistics of the relocation.  In the next month I hope to start the first steps towards making a ST Squad Leader or Captain kit and have been spending the COVID period reviewing the forums for insight by others making ST kits (big fan of Cricket's posts). 

This would be my first build so besides pinging for help/advice on the WIP forum I would like to also e-mail my closest Garrison to tap into their experience/knowledge.  I will be in the area of Solano County, which is by Sacramento, so I believe the correct Garrison is either Golden Gate or Central California.  If anyone knows which Garrison is the "correct" one to e-mail, your guidance would be appreciated.

Sorry for the newbie question but I'd rather ask and get the help.  Thank you for taking the time to read the post, I do hope your respective days go well.

Cheers

Chris

No question is a noobie question and we’re here for you. You’re going to want the Golden Gate Garrison which covers the Bay Area and the northern counties. I’d reach out to them and let them know what you’re interested in and your plans.

Hello. I am a member of the Central California Garrison. We have a member that lives in Fairfield, which is part of Solano County, and he is in our Garrison. He does do a lot of troops in the Sacramento area. Since you are so close to areas of both Garrisons, I guess it would boil down to where you'd rather travel to the most. I know some members in the Golden Gate Garrison, and they are really cool. You'd be very welcomed at either Garrison, whichever you ultimately choose.

Retrofire and Mickeymark34,

I would like to thank both of you for the responses.  Just finished Day 1/7 for travel so a bit fried at the moment but very appreciative for the thoughts and insight.  I'll look more into both but feel like its basically winning the lottery given that I couldn't lose with either choice.  I'll look at reaching out later next week after I've had time to rest a bit and can compile a meaningful e-mail.

Cheers

Chris
