As noted in this thread (http://www.405th.com/f23/updates-405th-2015-all-please-read-44153/), the 405th is looking at finally making the transition into a formal costuming club.
I realize many of you may have concerns about inclusion for those who are not active on the forums or own full suits but are active and valued members of our groups. Rest assured that the Pacific Regiment will adhere strongly to the core value of Unity: "We value every member and the bond of community they collectively create." As noted in the new charter,
"Regiment Commanding Officers are free to adopt reasonable policies and procedures in accordance with the 405th Mantle as needed, so long as they are supported by the local membership and do not conflict with the letter or intent of the 405th’s policies and procedures."
It is my intent, if I remain RCO (Regimental Commanding Officer) to ensure that we continue to operate in the same successful manner you all have operated over the last 5+ years. We will do what we can to avoid "fixing what isn't broken" and make this transition as smooth as possible so that you wonderful folks can worry less about membership requirements and more about sharing your loves of costuming and Halo.
To help in this transition process, I ask that all potential members please fill out this online form which provides basic user information:

For those wondering why bother to make the transition to a formal club in the first place, the purpose is to hep create a stronger sense of unity within the larger 405th as a whole. By formalizing the membership process, the end goal is to make it easier to connect with your fellow 405th members, other regiments, and with the Halo community as a whole, better allowing the 405th to welcome new members, answer requests to help at events, and showcase our member's talents.
Keep in mind we are treading new ground here and there will be growing pains. We will be testing new policies and ideas, not all of which will be successful. Your support and feedback will be critical moving forward, and I ask that you bear with us. If you have *any* questions or concerns, please comment below or send an e-mail to 405thPacific@gmail.com
On a final, personal side note. I apologize for my lack of presence over the last few months. With official club organization now well underway, I will endeavor to maintain a more active presence from here on out. My sincerest thanks to @Spacemeat and @gliderx64 on their excellent job keeping everyone active, and to everyone else for being such amazing community members.
