I think that was the intent, yes, so agreed. You should be able to take a black or ISB officer and do the following:
 
1. Get a new tunic
2. Add dosimeters (if changing from ISB)
3. Add the holster
4. Get gloves
5. Get rank bar (if you don't have one that matches)
6. Add cloak
7. Do your hair!
 
I think that would be it.

You really rock the Krennic Michael, congratulations on the CRL!  Now I need to get to work on mine, time to call the seamstress!

Just thanks to everyone involved in helping me out in the build and to you all behind the scenes for sorting the CRL

So... this happened today....

Congrats to Michael for being the first approved and the CRL model.

And there was much rejoicing!  Finally - glad to see this come to light.  Eric/LMO is so good when it comes to this.  Michael, thanks for having the faith and sticking with it. You have the patience of Job (Sunday reference).

For all 3 candidates:
 
For many troopers, an IOC uniform is their first one in the 501st (it was for me!).  Unfortunately I've met some troopers that once they get that first set of armor done though, it's goodbye to the officer or crewman, never to be seen again.  What are your thoughts on keeping IOC members engaged with their costumes, to work to upgrade them or to build new ones even after they have other 'exciting' detachment costumes?  (Not saying my Staff Officer isn't exciting, that goes without saying!  )
 
 
Personally, I promote changing costumes and each troop, start with one, then change into one or two more.  It's a challenge to change when no one notices it.  Several members of my Garrison are starting officer costumes for an addition costume, some for comfort, some because I make an officer look so good...lol!  It's another instance of leading by example.  Go into a troop looking sharp and maintaining the Imperial Officer persona.  I makes others to want to do the same.  The best compliment I ever received was, "You really have 'Imperial Bastard' down don't you?"

lantern2745    Asks:
My initial question for all three candidates is - because some of you are known to us and active on the boards, and some of you are not ; Who are you?
Also, be prepared for a follow up question.
 
I'll start by saying that I've been in the 501st since 2011.  I first joined Bloodfin Garrison, I served a short time as GCOG there.  I was next a charter member of the Northern Darkness Garrison where I'm about to embark on my 3rd year as GML.  I'm also on the staff of the FISD, 1st Imperial Stormtrooper Detachment as its Provost Marshal. I've held that position for over 4 years now.  I also helped to develop and start up the Fireteam program for the FISD.
 
I joined the IOC in 2012.  When we started the Executor/Imperator program, I was the first approved Executor.  Since I was first, BJ asked me to be the first IOC Deployment Officer.  I held that position for a year and then I was asked to serve as Executive Officer.  As XO, I have learned the Administrative portion of running the IOC.  I have filled in for BJ quite a bit due to his very hectic schedule last year.  The XO and DL have to keep track of all the new members coming in via the 501st Membership Data Base, which has had some issues due to the age of that programing, as several members may have found out this year.  
 
That's the facts so far, looking forward to a follow up.

The Text I sent to BJ from this thread had nothing on the Raincoat - it'd be up to him and the LMO if they'd do a separate CRL, or an addendum and make it like Shore Trooper or Gunner, where you have option A or B (or even C and D if you go flashback costumes too)

As an FYI, it has been submitted to LMO per the last conversation I had with BJ - so let's not spam his mailbox please - if he or the LMO need something else they'll let me know, but from what I was told it's at Legion level at the moment.

I was fortunate enough to meet Carrie Fisher (and her little dog too!) in 2015 at Tampa Bay Comic Con. May the Force always be with her...

Carrie Fisher (Actress for Princess/General Leia Organa) has passed at the age of 60.
 
Fisher suffered a traumatic heart attack on December 23rd, after which EMTs could not resuscitate her for over 15 minutes. She was taken into emergency services and it was announced that she had been stabilized, confirmed by a family member. Today, on December 27th, Fisher passed on at 8:55 AM, as confirmed by her daughter.
 
We will remember the Princess fondly, just as fondly (if not more-so) than the sadly-growing list of familiar faces that have blessed the silver screen to bring us the great creation we know as Star Wars.

What an amazing experience! Our Tampa Bay Squad has a private screening early Saturday morning, can't wait. I think we're up close to a 100 folks including family.
