Regiment membership - please all read

FANGS

Commanding Officer
Community Staff
Division Staff
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?

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.

As I said, we appreciate the feedback and I hope to work with the Regimental Command Staffs to also get them to help make this information more accessible in their respective Regimental Sections.

At this time, however, I would like to please ask everyone to limit the chatter, inside joking, and off topic comments in this thread, as the more off topic posts that are made here will only make this thread more cluttered and difficult for our RMOs to check through to see the members requesting to join their Regiments.

At this time, please try to limit the posts in this thread to requests for Regimental membership and Follow Ups to said requests. If you have further feedback, I, or any other member of Division or your Local Regimental Command Staff are always wiling to hear it, I would just like to try and keep this thread less cluttered for ease of use of our members and Regimental Membership Officers.

serenko3 put a post up specifically for this in Colonial last night, Idk if it was pinned yet, he just got back from work and is sleeping at the moment....Also thank you for checking into it...

Hello everyone I really like the 405th but I have a problem I live at the bottom of Africa, which don't get me wrong I love it here but There isn't a regiment for that I am an American officially, born in Dayton, Ohio. Me and my family do come back to the states to visit the family so I don't really know what to from here if I could get some advise that would be great

Hello HaloHunterChief ! I think likely the best option would be for you to be added to the Midwest Regiment (assuming that when you visit you come to Ohio). That would at least give you a home base. However, if there were others in your area eventually we'd be happy to start a Regiment for you! Looks like you've got the post count already - just need to wait for the 90 days to lapse! I think that makes you eligible to be added to Midwest at the end of October! Just post back here in this thread when the time comes and we'll get you added.

Give it some thought. You certainly don't have to be a part of a Regiment to be here but I welcome you to do so if you wish!
