Brian, looking good overall. Don't worry about your height. I'm sure actual Roman recruiting officers were more interested in how used to hard and disciplined work a recruit was than quibbling about an inch or two of height here and there.
There are just three points I would make to improve your impression a bit.
Firstly, you all need to hitch your tunics up a bit higher. Your knees should always be able to be seen, as one of the recognised signs of being a military man was the wearing of a tunic which was hitched up to hang above the knee. Therefore if your tunics hang too low you risk looking, not like solders, but instead civilians who have dressed themselves in military equipment.
Secondly, I see no problem in your wearing a sash, but it would be better not to have the end hanging down the way it is in your picture. Tuck it in under the rest of the sash so that the sash has reasonably even upper and lower edges right around the body.
Thirdly, I think the chap on then left of the picture should take a look at the 'Winter Clothing' thread:

So good impression overall and, with a bit of tweeking which would cost nothing, potentially very good.
