    Honestly it happens less than I had expected. I got it worse when I used to go to anime conventions in a uniform from Mobile Suit Gundam, and people would throw their hands up and shout "Sieg Zeon!" at me all the time.

    Had no idea you are a Gundam Fan Emma and I are huge fans as well the next Con we were planning of both wearing Federation or Zeon Uniforms.

    See, I thought they were part of the Stormtrooper Corp., which is why I thought, if they had any dress uniform, it would be the Staff officer (which is the Stormtrooper branch). 

     

    Ultimately, it doesnt really matter. I always encourage my hard armored Garrison mates to get an officer (any officer) so they can kit down into something more comfortable. I say, whichever officer you like, build/wear that. 

    All ways encourage people to make and officer uniform :)

    I'm almost 100% sure that I have seen the black Officer with 6 blue tiles and 2 Code cylinders, one on every side.

     

    And I think it's a matter of manners to take off the hat inside a building and especially on a party. 

    I don't remember that one there is the Imperial Adjutant (Warrand Officer Ardwyl Hercho) that has 5 blue bars and a code cylinder on each side.

    (Edit I went out side to watch those videos and you are talking about a complete different officer lol when I read the post the videos were not visible)

     

    And on the hat thing there is a raft of protocol as to when a hat is work and official functions, It can be a simple as hats are collected at a central point, or held or worn it depends on when who and where. All military's have there own rules. As those images of a party on a criminal crime boss's ship  I think how the uniforms are worn would be of very little consequence if ISB found out lol.

    You are confusing title and rank.  He could be a science officer, his title.  He could also wear the rank of a colonel  as an operations officer in the imperial military. 

     

    At times we have had chiefs of the CIA that were 3 stars admirals and yet were called “directors”. The head of the V2 rocket program in WWII Germany Werner Von Braun was a civilian director.  He also was a Sturmbannführer in the SS.  The same is for Director Krennic.  Krennic is the director of the advanced weapons group AND he holds the rank of Fleet admiral ( 6 Blue, 6 red). 

     

    And its not a theory.  The screen writers, the costumer designers and the people in the story group publishing the books are all saying it.  Go look.

    Same in our Military, In my organisation we have a mix of Lt Colonel's/Colonel's (O5-O6) and Civilians that hold director positions under our CIO ( Chief Information Officer)

    Hi fellow Officers,

     

    I almost finished "Thrawn" and I'm curious about the ranks in the book and especially the ranks Thrawn and Eli were holding. As I'm reading the book in german I'm curious about the english version of the ranks, because I'm not always sure about the translation.

     

    I try to reconstruct the ranks of Thrawn and Eli during the novel in english, please correct me if one is wrong and please add the ones I don't know:

     

                                                               Thrawn                                                         Eli Vanto

    Leaving the Academy                 Lieutenant                                                  Ensign (for quite some time)

    Chapter 11                                     Captain                                                             

    Chapter 16                                   Commander?? "Kommandant" in german

    Chapter 19                                    Commodore                                             "Kapitänleutnant" in german, I'm not sure about the correct rank in english

    Chapter 23                                      Admiral                                                          Commander??

     

    This is how far I'm with the novel, Thrawn is not Grand Admiral yet, but we all know he has this rank at the end.

     

    Thanks for your help!

     

     

    Duty - Honor - Empire

    Seems good to me mate, I just lined them up with respect to each other’s rank

     

    I am using a picture due to my phone confusing the formatting.
