Wear it respectfully, and if I see you in it, I will shake your hand. Dishonor the colors, and we will have a chat. While some things military should not be worn by those who have not served, i.e. a green beret for instance, the tartan is not one of them. I like the fact that non-vets want to respect the finest miliary branch in the world.

For Shame Birddog, I know this is bringing up old post but I keep reading that the search tool is my bestfriend and I found this. Talking about respect and saying you are JUST in the Air Force. You must mean the World's Greatest Air Force. I'll have to send a memo to the families of Airmen that were KIA and let them know that thier loved ones ONLY served in the USAF.

Im pretty much messin around with a fellow vet, but seriously these days its pretty easy to get confused about what branch you are in anyway. I was in the Air Force, trained by and with Marines, and then attached to the 25th ID SF in Afghanistan.

Anyway as far as the original topic goes.... wear it with respect, honor the fallen, the ones that they left behind, the ones that that served and those that are still serving.
