we could use the regiments that we had in the general section each state have its own one and places like Canada either have there own or slit it up into provinces

I personally like it, each state has it own squad. Great idea.

Wow, I can't believe I just made it through 53 pages of posts....

Anyhoo, I just thought I'd say that all of this sounds pretty fantastic (not that you need my approval).

But I have a few questions, such as:

1) When 405th launches, does the Mjolnir Armor forums (which is now the 405th forums) become member only and/or disappear?

2) I saw a while back everyone was making a fuss about the Spartan - 117 ID for a member. If you guys plan on having an honorary member (insert bungie person here), why not give them that ID to make it a distinguished title that people don't fight over?

Ok, so I guess it was just two questions. But it all looks good, and it would appear you guys are getting everything in order. I just think it would be a shame to see the Mjolnir site disappear entirely, so I'm hopin that's not the case.

Thats a fantastic idea... we should keep that in mind as we approach Bungie and MS.

My vote would be for Jason Jones to get the -117 tag, with other important/recognized/head/whatever Bungie personnel (Luke, Lars, Frankie, et all) receiving the tags of the so-far named Spartans.

Although all the Voice Actors may break that mold, since I'd assume we'd /tag 'em as the characters they voiced.
 
Yikes, just read through all 53 pages also. This is looking great. If you guys need help with the badges or patches, I do some graphic design and such. I also agree with Link on the name of the site www.UNSC-405th.com, I think it sounds more professional and not piggybacking on the 501st as much, but either way I'll just be extremely glad to see this whole thing fall together piece by piece. On another note, I personally, would love to see "UNSC 405th Infantry Official" on the Bungie main page some day :D .
 
well, we should set up a system for lableing the members. so no one can fight over what they want to be called
 
We can just get numbers by when we join. Kinda like the number system in Halo 3. Like Adam could be 001 and so on. Or you would be allowed to choose and it would be on a first come, first serve basis. But we'd have to block off some numbers like 117 and 104 and such.
 
There are many people that have joined but never return, whose numbers I think should be up for grabs.
I claim the title "Spartan 139".
 
I mean people are going to be named by when they join the 405th. They aren't just going to be transferred over to being a member, they have to be judged on their armor and accepted.


PS. An idea I just thought of to keep intelligence high in the group, we should all have to write a letter of what it means to be a part of the UNSC or something.

I read the Topic... and I AM willing to post... a collective idea of all of the topics... in one single.. draft.. would any one... be willing to agree to terms.. CIVILY and IF Adams.. agreed we could use it as the base..because I have alot of ideas... ... and... I think this is a wonderful idea...
 
53 pages later (and I should have joined when I first found the site, suggestions would have beeen more timely)

instead of embroidering the 405th patch with Region & Affiliation, put them on cheverons and rockers which can be placed above and below the main patch. This would also allow someone to display a list of the armor they have completed and registered with the unit.

screen print the patch on plastic and attach them with magnets, or use paldrons or sashes (I know, not canon, but it'd work). Or, once everything's ironed out, crafters can make the shoulder (or parts of the shoulder) replaceable; giving the wearing the option to show their 405th alignment.

Have a high initial ($25 or 30$) and a low annual ($5 or $10)

Use poker chips for give aways, they can be custom printed and you can carry a lot of them (my brother does them for geocaching)

If you want to be somewhat military, it should be a pair of dogtags (yes, that is what it shows in the pics, but that is not what is being stated)

Ideas for ranking

No Armor/Junior
E-1 to E-3
Navy affiliation -> Recruit, Apprentice, Striker
Marine -> Private, Private First Class, Specialist
Army Affiliation -> Private, Private First Class, Lance Corporal

Armor & Full member, but not really in a leader position or a junior crafter
E-4 to E-6
Navy affiliation -> PO3 (Petty Officer 3rd Class, or just 3rd Class), PO2 (2nd Class), PO1 (1st Class)
Marine -> Sergeant, Staff Sergeant, Gunnery Sergeant
Army Affiliation -> Sergeant, Staff Sergeant, Sergeant Sergeant First Class

Armor & Full member, in Leader position (have big responsibilities to unit) or a master crafter
E-7 to E-9
Navy affiliation -> CPO (Chief Petty Officer), SCPO (Senior Chief Petty Officer), MCPO (Master Chief Petty Officer)
Marine -> Master/First Sergeant, Sergeant Major, Master Gunnery Sergeant
Army Affiliation -> Master/First Sergeant, Sergeant Major, Command Sergeant Major

Officers, I think should be reserved to members who take a big hit to run the group or for honorary members
There should be a couple in each state/country/province(sp?)

some ideas for affiliations
http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/UNSC_Special_Forces
Spartans = SEALs = Navy (Bungie used a book titled: Master Chief: Diary of a Navy Seal as inspiration)
ODST = Force Recon = Marines (Recon tells you how many there are, Force Recon tells you how many there were)
Pilots are Navy (the ones mentioned; the AF was likely absorbed into the Army & Navy)

That's all I have for now
BTW, anyone else in Indianapolis, Indiana; PM me if you do and I'll start a list on this post
 
just some thing that brings up all that pages.. before.. for noobs.. wanting to understand this topic... and... may also ... be used to make this group idea work...btw any thing is able to change...

CORE ideas...

the Spartans... and Marines.. Fight together... as a team... no is man left behind...

you should pay member ship and have armor.. to show up... but if you are a memeber.. and not wearing your armor.. your a civy in the eyes of the regiment...


Large groups... not stats..not yet at least... we have an ideal group of 50 if any thing.... so at the moment... we should have it focused... as major group where we go to one focused con for sure..and... like.. example... we will all go to Dragon..con.. and your friends..in your city go to ... a local con... ... (BTW i mean... friends in armor.. not just any one... members..)... i think that this will form.. a leadership of regions.. or con focused groups... and if need be later... state side but for now.. .one large focus should be ideal...

FOr the kids...
Membership is kinda agreed for 16+
so for the younger... if they have ... Family there or... a parent.. over the group... the 405th shouldn't baby sit...kids... and its should be called.. the Spartan III program or something.....

people not in marine or spartan...armor...
but are working with the 405th...should be... called crew members...

THEME it to halo!... this is the idea... so names.. should go with halo and such... ...(PS the background to the site should really be forerunner looking... or military net..looking... what ever fits the theme better...)for the patches.. halo font?

numbers?
number types...
i think numbers..shouldn't have a title of your type.. because some people with have both.. and... i think numbers... work the best... 000-200 should be the range... for now..

numbers.. given?
I think for most people... it should be... like you get what ever number you want thats available...in the range... we decide on... this avoids people fighting over numbers or trying to get a number... they just get what they can... this works..for most people i think since some people wouldn't care..but I would... I want 043 for my xbl account is G043R.... and its kinda.. a personal thing... and I think it would look kool for the new members to see the wall of people with armor.. surrounded with numbers MIA ...it would go well with the spartan... plot..

detachments..
I think most people focus on makin the chief's armor..so i think that... we should... avoid detachments... it makes.. the group cut up to much... ..if its out of hand later..we can..but... for now.. I am sugjestiong... that we avoid...

early leader?
Adam, Sean, Link, and Red
Christi and Fallen Angle... and anyone who donated...

Flags?
well it shouldn't be picked up on the main topic.. but.. i think for each convention one should be made... for the con... makes..for treasures..and such...

PATCHES?
i think it should just focus..on the single numbers... show us to look like..we are one unit... and it should just be on you.. thats all...

Ranks... the admins.. really should control rank... and it should add by con events... or year membership... also ...keep to the theme... of E-ranks.. its for flow... only admins.. should be officers... as its kinda how it should be... the E ranks is so that ... navy and marine ranks... are convert able... you can be master sargent.. marine... or... a chief in spartan..(for some of you that didn't know.. it isn't the same for the branches of the military...)

Armor standards?...
I can't comment here... I suck at it.. but... I am doing a halo 1 marine out fit..and from what i read.. if you can make it to be halo..on a first glance... and should weapons be required?

Cards?
I think that... we see the 501 have cards? well the idea of... that could be your spartan emblem.. and your armor... and you can trade them...

special numbers?
117 and maybe.. the Spartans in the book like kurt... should be for honor members... or .. bungie..if they do any thing...... it could be code... meaning bungie will be there or something...
