Funny thing happened at the office today...Aside from the routine of Baghdad, I returned to my hooch after a long day of being on QRF (Quick Reaction Force - Counter Assault) to discover I had received an e-mail notification from Jerry at SWK that my Standard Nightstalker Kilt, Nylon Sporran, and black chain was being shipped today.
Later in the day, I was talking to Jay King and mentioned that Steve Ashton owner of Freedom Kilts and former DI commander and AH-64 Apache Pilot had answered my e-mail about purchasing an XMTS patch for my flight suit...He said that he had one lying around and would send it to me for free (since we're kilted brothers and CIVPOL kin) and guess what? It arrived today.
So here are a couple of pics showing my happiness after reading the e-mails and getting the patch...I pinned it to my chest (ouch - only a drop or two of blood spilled) and will sew on the velcro tonight.

Thanks Jerry for your prompt service and Thank you Steve for being my brother from a different mother...It really made my day and I will wear it proudly from now on.
Best Regards and merry Christmas to all
