Garrison Carida has a busy duty schedule this weekend.

19/10/2026

Monday has us looking in six directions, and none of them lead back to the weekend.

Armor on. Coffee ready. Still trying to scout out some motivation.

How’s your Monday shaping up, troopers?

The Imperial Book Club has one rule: no spoilers. Violators will be reported to Lord Vader. 📚

“Weird Al” brought the weird. We brought the Empire!

On October 11, 2026, Garrison Carida joined the fun at the Bryce Jordan Center for a night of music, laughs, and a little Imperial presence. Even the Empire can appreciate a good parody—and our troopers were happy to embrace their weird side!

Thank you for inviting us to be part of the concert and giving our troopers a night to remember. The Force is strong with this kind of weird!

Found: two droids matching a very familiar description.

Garrison Carida has a few questions. The gold one has several million answers. The blue one has requested a lawyer.

💚 World Mental Health Day | October 10

Even the strongest troopers need a moment to recharge. 💚

Behind every helmet is a person, and every person deserves compassion, understanding, and support. Whether you’re facing a difficult day or simply need someone to listen, remember that asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.

Check in on your fellow troopers, your friends, and yourself. Sometimes, the smallest act of kindness can make the biggest difference.

Need help? You don’t have to face it alone.

📞 988 — Call or text the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline, available 24/7 in the U.S.

💚 Take care of your squad. Take care of yourself. Reaching out can make all the difference.

💚

Happy Thursday. 🍂
Sometimes the best part of the mission is simply slowing down, taking in the view, and enjoying where you are.

Even a Trooper needs a moment to appreciate the little things. 🫡

Cooler weather has arrived. Time to break out the snowtrooper. ❄️🥶

Because apparently even the Empire has a dress code for sweater weather. 😏
