Hello everyone!

[Slayer6769]

I thought I should introduce myself to everyone since I'm here. 
I actually came here to find a specific member here to help me with a costume I'm working on. But after reading a bit, I think I'd like to stop in and participate. 
A bit about myself. My name is Ron and I live in Ohio, USA. I'm not a 501st member yet, but will be hopefully when I get a costume completed. I'm actually working on two currently. I'm building a ESB TK and a ANH TI. As this is going to take some time, especially the TK, I am going forward with a reserve pilot to get my foot in the door as it were. 
I'm married with two dogs and I have two children from a previous marriage. 
I am US Marine Veteran and currently work in a steel mill, helping make the highest quality steel in the world. As a "second job" as a political activist. 
Outside of my current quest to become a 501st member, I enjoy shooting sports and boating. And on the rare occasion I get out and fish. 
Hopefully I will be able to add to the discussions here and more importantly make some new friends. Thank you for having me here in your community!!

Welcome Ron
What costume are you working on?
I have a good mate that lives in Ohio, just outside of Cinnci. Was over there in February this year visiting him.

Welcome to our forum Ron Another benefit of joining up to the JRS forum is being able to request a mentor to help you get your costume together.

Thanks for the welcome! I am over at the JRS forum and have gotten some good info over there. I was out of town the last few days on a mini vacation, so I haven't worked on my TK since. Hopefully I will get back to it this evening after I get home from work.
I'd absolutely love to visit AU sometime. I've always wanted to visit there, but have never had the chance. I appreciate you all having me and look forward to socializing with you.
