I think the plan is to re-submit the CRL for approval after the change of Legion Command early next year.

Let's keep the discussion focused on the Imperial Military Officer, folks. Legion/Detachment policies and practices can be discussed elsewhere.

I’m not a color expert, but from all the on screen images and production images it’s definitely a shade of field grey, which as we know from the Line Officer tunics can vary pretty widely in shade.

Regardless I may be interested in a new coat if a new vendor is coming out with them

Feldgrau usually is "olive green" (ish).  @kevair464 would be best qualified to answer the color question off the top of his head... I'd need to do research first.

Welcome back, stranger!

Hello fellow Officers! I have been absent for some time between Covid and life, but I'm hoping to be on here more again in the near future. I am settled in to my new home and my son Jackson is now 2 months old and sleeping through the night. I'll have to make him a crew suit soon! I am on the facebook groups more often if anyone needs costume advice, just look for Benjamin Salisbury. Great t be back on the job again! Hope to see some of you in Anaheim next May! Long live the Empire!
 

Welcome to the IOC, Lauren! Here's the link to request full IOC access to the Forums:
 
https://www.imperialofficer.com/forum/index.php?/topic/1670-501st-ioc-member-status-requests/
 

Hello from San Francisco!  I just became an approved member into GGG.  ID-27271.  Can you please help give me full access?  thank you!

This thread will discuss changes to the Imperial Bridge Crew Comm Pad.  Changes were made based on evidence from the Jolly Rodger Squadron Detachment for the Original Trilogy TIE pilot.  These Comm pads have historically been identical for use with the Bridge Crew, TIE Pilots, Reserve Pilots and even Imperial Gunners.

This thread will be used for evidence for the change to be submitted with the text used for the CRL change for the two JRS costumes.  The membership will be able to view this as the justification before any changes are made.

Hi folks.
 
The LMO received a request from IOC to include the imperial army operations office in the 501st roster of costumes. 
 
If it passes our LMO poll in 7 days time we'll be back here to help with the CRL.
 
Thanks for your patience,

Ziet er goed uit!

Are you working from a computer or a mobile phone?  If you're working from a computer, try right-clicking on the image and choose "Copy Image Location" (or "Copy Link" or something similar) and paste in the complete link that ends in "jpg" (the actual photo).  Then the Forums will display the image instead of the link.  On a phone, in the Imgur app, you should also be able to copy the link by pressing the button at bottom to share, and there is an option to Copy Link there, too.
 

 
I'd recommend you wear your belt a little higher.  The Buckles should usually sit over your belly button, higher than regular pants.  And the silver rivet or snap should be on the other side. (your left side, as you wear it)
 
Flight suit is looking great!

I'm making an Imperial Officer Uniform and am wondering what the best thing I should do about the code cylinders?  I know some people are selling them on Esty.  Some other people said to use chalk holders but I don't know if that 501st approved?  Also for the rank badge should I also get that on Etsy or is there a way to make it?
 
Thanks!

One will be.  The vendor makes the Rogue One flight suit for the TIE pilot.  This is just a different color of the same suit.  I have asked him to make this and step forward as the first with this costume.  He makes so much for others, I don't think anyone has ever asked him to make something for himself and be the first of it. 

The work has pretty much all has been done and published for some time.  He will be presenting the finished costume soon.

Works for me.

I’d like to have it the same requirements for rank as the normal officers, L3 would require matching an on screen officer (ie the Lieutenant or Major), but initial approval should allow any ranks, they would however need to be R1/Solo style single row rank bars, and Army ranks

As the one who worked on this CRL, I wanted to go back into it and rework some of the wording and add some L2/L3 requirements.
 
The Mudtrooper CRL was recently refreshed/updated and a lot of detail was added that I would like to carry over to this CRL, namely paint colors and details for the armor for higher levels.
 
I’d also like to possibly add tabs for variations of the costume like is being done for many others now.
 
Lastly I’d like to update the main CRL photos since I’ve improved the look of the jacket to be more screen accurate (the lapels are oversized in the original version seen on the CRL).
 
I know that we’ve had some elections, so can whoever is in charge of this now let me know how we can go about this rework/refresh

Happy trails, Mark! Maybe I'll get back out your way for a troop in the not too distant future.

I bid a fond farewell to the staff of the IOC.  It's been an honor and a privilege to serve the IOC for the past 8 years.  
 
So good luck to all, I'll still be around to advise, but I now fly into the wild blue yonder.
 

I often get confused for a security guard when wearing my Bridge or Scanning Crew costumes. Thinking about ordering some "Vader Security" patches.

I used the red/yellow to match the canon colors on the bicep, but it’s a fun little nod to the world wars
