Hello Andrew! During elections they shut down new approvals. It's only 20 days....but I know when your waiting for approval it seems like forever! Being in Houston, you will be a member of the South Texas Squad. Right now, the STX squad leader is Marshall Conover. If your looking for a peticular event to attend, contact him & he can probably fill you in on what is coming up. His email is Marshall.Conover@gmail.com

One of the biggest things coming up is All-Con. It's in Dallas, March 8-10th and it's the largest gathering of Star Garrison troops. www.All-Con.org
I look forward to meeting you.
