David, your costume has been approved. Let me be the first to welcome you to the 501st Legion and to Cloud City Garrison!
You have done an excellent job with your costume and with very minor adjustments could likely attain higher levels of certifications such as Expert Infantry and Centurion. If that is a goal for you, I and others would be glad to help you out with that. Even if you don't, you can be proud of the costume you have built.
I look forward to seeing you at a troop soon.
Stand by as I get you approved in the 501st database. You should get an e-mail from them in the next day or two, maybe more because of the holiday.
