Rogerson, your sleeves are too long. All most all of my suits are "bespoke", that is, they were tailored to fit me. Not one of them has sleeves that hang to my knuckles. The exceptions are my overcoats where the sleeves are that long, for the simple reason of warmth.

I'd suggest having the sleeves brought up to somewhere around the bend in your wrist. The sleeve length of your uniform is probably your best guide for length.

As McMurdo has suggested I'd go with the white shirt, and not worry about the sleeve length. As far as the tie is concerned, I like the stripes, but a black tie might be a tad more "Ancient and Accepted" looking.

Enjoy the induction ceremony.
