I joined in August of last year, but wasn't able to do any troops before the Census was sent out. And since I answered "Never" to the question "When is the last time that you trooped in your 501st costume?", I got bumped back to Reserve status.
I'm signed up for 2 troops in the next couple of weeks and excited to finally get out there! So what will I need to do to get back to Active status? Just reach out to a GML after a troop?
