Regiment membership - please all read

FANGS

I'm noticing a great deal of people who qualify to be part of a Regiment (ie: Type B Membership with 50 posts and 90 days) but have not yet been added.

Please take a moment to let us know here if you wish to be added and we'll get that taken care of for you.

So, what is a Regiment?

The 405th is more than an online community, we also work to connect Halo cosplayers in Real Life through our local “Regiments” which allow members to meet other people in their area who share their passions. Basically, a Regiment is a locally organized chapter of the wider 405th. The local Regiments are designed to allow people to meet, get to know, and work with other Halo Cosplayers in their area. These local Regiments provide a sense of Identity and Community to members and give them a space to call their own.

Additionally, the 405th participates in many events around the globe, from Game Releases, Conventions, and even Minor League Baseball games, and these Local Regiments allow us to professionally organize these events, look out for our members in attendance at these events, and put forward the best face for both the 405th and the Halo Franchise as a whole.


What does it take to join a regiment?

Membership in a regiment is an entirely voluntary process. The Armory (The New File Archive) and all sections of the Forum, except for the local regiment sections, are open to any Registered Forum Member. You do not need to join a Regiment to download files, post in the costume creation sections, or show off your build.

However, if a member decides to take the next step and join a regiment and get more involved with local fellow 405th members, they must first make sure that their account is more than 90 days old and that they have over 50 posts. This demonstrates that the member is committed to actively participating with the 405th Organization. Once a member has 50 posts on an account that is over 90 days old, they then post in this thread and request to be added to their local Regiment.

The Regimental Membership Officer, or RMO, for that Regiment is responsible for checking this thread and confirming that the member meets the requirements and belongs in their Regiment. At that time the local RMO will then give the go ahead in a special thread in the Regimental Command Staff Section for the member to be added to the Regiment.


How do you know which Regiment is your local regiment?

The current Regiments are:
Australia – Covering Australia

I posted in this thread, but I am still not in a Regiment. What do I do?

If you have not heard back from your Local RMO after posting on this thread, your first step should be to contact them. If you do not hear back from your local RMO, the next step should be to contact your local RCO. If your local RCO does not respond to you, then you should bring it to the attention of Division Staff Member, such as FANGS or Cadet and we will look into the issue.

Do understand that all Division and Regimental Officers are only volunteers doing this in their free time, and real life issues may distract them and keep them away from the Forum from time to time.

Sry if I'm posting in an old form but been trying to get someone to let me in the southern reg. I currently live in El Paso any help would be great for future convention

Good afternoon. At this point, the criteria for Regimental Membership is to have 50 posts and have had an active account for 90 days. Exceptions can be made by Regimental Commanders for users who have a completed costume or are actively involved in their local Regiment.

I would like to submit a request to join the Southern Regiment. Although I have not reached the 90-day mark yet, Chernobyl has kindly offered to vouch for me.

Um I would like to do one for Britain or England? I don't know how you would go about this

Right now the European Regiment covers both the British Isles and Mainland Europe. A Regiment was originally proposed for just Britain, but there were not enough active members to sustain it, so it was folded back into Europe.

At some point in the future if enough members become active in Britain, the Regiment can be revived, but for now England and Europe are covered by the same Regiment.

Then that one it is :)

Just as a reminder to all it is Thanksgiving today in the US and of course many have celebrations with family and friends throughout the weekend so please be patient while waiting for an RMO to be in touch with you!

I'm not sure if I have a Type B membership, but I have the posts, and I've been a member since '07. I live in Kansas, and if I am able to be would love to be added to the Midwest Regiment.

I believe you are referring to the application for Deployment, which is entirely separate operation from Regimental Membership. The process for Regimental Membership has not changed from the first post in this thread. Deployments are currently on hold until later in January as our two new Membership officers, Spacemeat and Commander Palmer, get up to speed and we make some adjustments to the Deployment process based on feedback from the first round of Deployments.
