Hello everyone, To no surprise Ghosbusters has always been a big part of my childhood and life. I believe I had just about every toy, figures and costumes. Some of the most memorable moments was being surprised with a GB cake to when I was really sick and my parents surprising me with the [Ghostbusters movie](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/movies). I’ve lurked the website for years and figured it was time to join. Especially since I’m about to start on my first [proton pack](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack) build (Always been a bucket list, childhood dream). I am finally in a better financial position and got my first parts kit and am ready 🙂 With 3 kids and my oldest son he has begun showing interest in Ghostbusters as well. A memorial moment was walking down the stairs on a Saturday and him surprising me " Dad dad! [The real Ghostbusters](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/games/the-real-ghostbusters-activison) is on netflix"!! Needless to say we canceled morning plans and we both binged watched a ton of episodes. One the biggest things I’m excited and looking forward to is after building my pack and joining our state chapter, is being able to participate in awareness campaigns and so forth. It’s especially important to me with everything that has happend to my daughter. Looking forward to meeting others and making friends. 🙂 ---

Just so you know- it is possible to join the VA Ghostbusters without having your [proton pack](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack) completed. They have their requirements posted on their Facebook page. Basically, they want you to have a GB 1 uniform, (they specify details), a brief intro to yourself, and a picture of your uniform. That way, if you need advice, etc. during your build- you may have somebody close enough to lend a hand. If accepted, you then are considered a rookie until the proton pack is completed. As a rookie you are still encouraged to come out and assist with projects. Hope this helps! Good Luck! ---
