Special Circumstance / Out of Area (OOA) | Tour of Duty (TOD) Credit

****************************************************************************

What is a Special Circumstance (SC) / Out of Area (OOA) | TOD Credit?

In some cases a formal event request and Garrison Even Coordination may NOT be part of the equation for a TOD – Credit would in most cases be awarded.

How do I qualify for a SC / OOA TOD credit?

It is requested that a member receive “SC / OOA Troop Clearance” by simply reaching out to Command Staff and advising that they plan to troop an event in advance and are seeking TOD credit. Command Staff will have Event Coordination Staff post the event which will allow other members to join the troop in the case it is a large event such as a Commercial or Fan Convention. (CON)

If there is a concern at the time that the event will NOT qualify then Command Staff will caution the member that a TOD may NOT be awarded.

Anything else that needs to be done?

Yes!

At a minimum Command Staff would ask that a member(s) write up a simple Mission Report with the details of the event and who attended and in what capacity. (Costumed or Handler/Photographer) This policy is “On Your Honor” for members. If pictures are available please share and make them part of the report.

Do all events that are trooped qualify?

No they may not. In most cases we would like the events to be 501st Legion approved or appropriate.
