Troops Website's History
On 04/01/2020, this website was first offically launched by Chris J. to the public to use as a resource and is being updated regularly. This website was not the first website of the troop though, it is accually the 2nd! The reason a whole new website was created was because of two reasons. Reason 1 is because this website is being run on a private server, meaning it is free to use unlike the first one which had to be paid for as it was being run by Google Sites. And Reason 2 is because the troop has lost contact of the previous websites webmaster and thus has lost all ability to edit or access the old website to make changes. Even though it has not been updated since 8/30/14, you can still visit it with this link to the old website. I must warn you though that most of the links on the old website are either dead or have been sold to other companies to make completely different websites then what they were intended to go to when the old website was still opporational, such as the link to the mobile website on the old website is now a Czech Republic Wire and Internet Companies Website, ha!
