Hey Jordan,
It was nice to get a chance to meet you in person over the weekend at Supernova. I can't believe how busy it was, absolutely awesome turnout. We raised the most money we've ever done at a Nova so both charities we were supporting will be getting a nice surprise.
I'm glad to hear that your partner is not only supportive of your interest, but also showing her own, you will both be great additions to the Garrison. Don't stress about having to get something approved tomorrow, remember you can still come along to events and help by acting as wranglers. This is a super important part of the garrison & those costuming couldn't do what they do without wranglers help. As a bonus it helps you better understand how armor works and the limitations it presents to movement and vision.
I know you've got a busy time coming up but if you get a chance see if you can call it to the Dreamworld troop in a fortnights time. This is our crown jewel of troops for the year and there will be over 120 characters there to look at.
Cheers
Craig
