Although I must say, the Rebels do seem to have fewer respiratory problems...

WOW!

I've been accepted and approved.  A tad excited here.
Looking forward to meeting the Garrison Coreillia when I do my first offical troop.
I even signed up for facebook.  
 
 

Oh lord, the less said about the First Order salute, the better. :C

And here he goes again! Carry on, carry on  Good luck!

Always happy to learn about 'History of Galaxies far, far away'. I really don't understand why this is not taught at schools...:)

There are not a lot of names used in the original trilogy. Governor Tarkin is named, but none of the other officers by name in the film.  They would get names in the novelization like Cass, Romodi and Tagge.  With Romodi taking Motti's lines in the film.  They didn't even have ranks properly assigned to them. 
 
In 1978, there would be an attempt to expand on Tagge by showing his family in the marvel comics run.  The general's family would own a wealthy business conglomerate and his elder brother would even  be a Baron that would spar with Darth Vader.  
 
The first real delving into who they were came about in 1988 with West End Game's first expansions to their popular role playing games.  The character profiles from A New Hope would give backgrounds on who they were, their ranks and what they did.  
 
 
The rank and name game would take off in 1995 with Decipher's Star Wars customizable card game.  For the first time ever,  everyone was given a name.  Near everyone was given a rank.  If it was a person, ship, location or piece of equipment, it was made into a card.  Tarkin, Motti and Tagge would appear, but now we had Chief Bast, Colonel Yularen, Captain Kurghee Commander Praji and others. 
 
 
 
This was awesome because we got background and story that has continued to today.  The problem was, there was no attempt to make sense of the rank structure when they assigned ranks.  At the time Lucasfilm really didn't care.  This was all part of the marking plans to bring Star Wars back... and what would be brought back would not be original trilogy, but prequels... so who cares right?

The thing is, the cards immediately contradicted one another.
Commander Daine Jir is listed as a commander.
 
All the others of the same rank are called Lieutenants.

But that is also the danger of calling someone "commander"  Tagge is called commander, Praji, Igar and many others... all with different rank bars.  

But this was the start.... it became something that immediately entered into all of the visual guides.  It quickly started to be adopted by authors everywhere.  Moreover, Lucasfilm started to note there was a story behind every name and going forward, instead of someone else naming these characters, it would come directly from Lucasfilm.
 

My existence is now cleared up! Wonderful thread indeed!

In my opinion, as someone who doesn't understand the technical terms, I would rather learn them so I could forward them to a professional who will be making the costume. Tailor or Seamstress or not, if you're gonna make the costume yourself or have a professional do it you gotta know the correct terms. Adding pictures to the details on the CRLs would help alot with understanding the technical terms.

I'm planning on shipping it tomorrow

I ordered one a couple of days ago 

OK Officers and Crew, we're looking for awesome, quality photos of IOC members in action at events to post on our Facebook page, so if you have one that you'd like to share, post it here. If possible, avoid posting photos with the general public in the background. You can have a bit of fun posting humorous photos, but keep it in good taste. Photos will be picked at random and posted on Facebook, and we'll try to pick photos that reflect the spirit of the Officer Corps. Please include a brief description of the event, TKIDs of the members, and Garrison info.
 
*** UPDATE***
 
We now have a Twitter account, so your photos can now be posted there as well!

Here are some pics that I have of IOC members from various troops last year. I hope this is what you're looking for Ron. Ive also included the TKIDs of the members in the photos. All of these are from the Badlands Garrison

Im no advisor, but based on my experience with this submission, they are going to want to see close ups of each individual item (rank bar, boots, belt, hat, etc). This might help speed up the process for you. Best of luck!!

I updated this post and the proposed CRL.

Looking trough the glasses of a GML, I have to say the actual ISB-CRL is very confusing because it contains two separate costumes and many options. The headline sometimes state the movie they are meant for in fat letters, sometimes a line below the header in thin letters. You have to jump back and forth to make sure the applicants combinations of costume is correct. If a GML makes such an experience, I do not wonder if an applicant faces such problems too.
 
That's why I am happy to see @StevenStefans proposal for having a single CRL for Rogue One and @PArmstrPatricias efforts for the ANH-ISB-CRL. Splitting these two costumes into two separate CRL's makes sense to me and will make it a lot easier to get along with the costume check.
