Second, we will need you to post your pics in a format using Photobucket or a similar service.
 
Then, I'll wish you good luck.

You always know how to have a good time Ben!

So I finally had a troop in my area, and did two days at Modesto Con, which is a new event starting out in Lucas' hometown that i've been supporting. It has been too dang hot to troop in the Fresno area, with an average of 106 degrees most days this month, so it was nice to get out of town for a troop! These are photos not necessarily in IOC costume, but I decided to share here. I started helping to promote this event back in March with the Cosies Awards, and marched with Central Valley Costumers for Modestocon in Modesto's Fourth of July Parade. For MST3K fans, that's my wife Samantha dressed as one of the Mads, Pearl Forrester, which I finished sewing her tunic Saturday night. Enjoy!

This was Carl. Don't be like Carl. No one liked Carl.

Be like Firmus. He was promoted. Was in two movies. Went down with his ship.
Oo-Rah!
Be like Firmus.

Actually, as a GML, I prefer the candidate contact me and/or the Garrison first, we can  walk them through the process and save some extra steps.  We can get to know each other and even have a future member come help out at troops to get a feel for what we do.

For those of us in the United States, today we honor our fallen soldiers and remember their sacrifices. I was able to attend a couple of events this weekend, including Hanford Safety Awarness Day, where kids demonstrated martial arts for an anti-bullying campaign, and today a 10K run called Help Carry the Load, which benefited families of fallen soldiers. I also got quite humorous yesterday in my rebel scum Endor disguise. Happy Memorial Day!

I've never seen them before.

Just another heads up then, there are no gray uniforms, they are olive drab.   The older film made the color look more gray.

There are no restrictions about eye wear.   You can choose to do any rank you want, just make sure to remember that the Black, Staff Officers, only use single row rank bars.

Congrats on your approval!
 
You first need to request IOC access here: http://www.imperialofficer.com/forum/index.php?/topic/1670-501st-ioc-member-status-requests/
 
Then you can view the Detachment merchandise area.

With your approved Warrant Officer, you qualify to be a full IOC member.  Make your request at this link: http://www.imperialofficer.com/forum/index.php?/topic/1670-501st-ioc-member-status-requests/ so I can set you up with IOC access, then you will have access to the Halls of Commemoration in the IOC section of the 501st area.  http://www.imperialofficer.com/forum/index.php?/forum/47-imperial-hall-of-commemoration/
 
Welcome to the IOC as a full member!

I think Admiral Motti hair style would be a good suit for you.

I'd check the resource list here first: http://www.imperialofficer.com/forum/index.php?/topic/1817-ioc-costume-resource-list/
 
Cosplaysky is the option I'd go for first.  The Deluxe version in pretty good.  Tiggie here on the forums makes great belts and rank bars.http://www.imperialofficer.com/forum/index.php?/topic/1787-plexiglass-rank-tiles-andor-complete-rank-bars/  and; http://www.imperialofficer.com/forum/index.php?/topic/2698-imperial-belts-by-tigg-wolf-creations/

I started with a TK.  Then I caught the bug, I did a Bridge Crewman, Line officer, Heavy Weapons Trooper, Navy Trooper, Warrant Officer, Navy Trooper (Dress Uniform),  Staff Officer, Scanner Crewman and an AT-ST Driver.  I even did an X-wing pilot and Jedi. I Currently working on a TFA Stormtrooper, TIE Pilot and AT-AT Commander Armor.
 
Other than that, I haven't done too much...LOL!
