Hello from Missouri

[Firefighter1911]

I thought I would stop by a tell a little about myself. I am 26 years old and live in Joplin Missouri in the USA. I have done factory work most of my life, but recently went back to school to get my EMT license and go through the fire academy. I am currently a volunteer firefighter and hope top get on with a department as career in the near future. I am of Irish and Scottish ancestry with some Dutch, German and who knows what else thrown in. Sadly any family I could have gotten any more information from has passed on.

I currently have one kilt that I bought on ebay years ago. Heritage of Scotland...I can still get it on but I was about 40 pounds lighter when I got it and it is some kind of blend material so I don't particularly care for it. I have saving for a good kilt and have been trying to decide between a 5 or 8 yard and between USA Kilt's firefighter memorial tartan or the Dyer family tartan . I have been leaning toward my family tartan, but have no idea what kind of pleats.

Anyhow, I look forward to meeting all of you and learning what I can from you. I will look around the forum to see what I can learn before I start posting any questions.
