This summer I joined the Canadian Forces Reserves and I did my BMQ (Basic Military Qualifications) this summer. I showed up to the base to check in on the first day of training and for the first couple of days we got to wear our civies and I showed up kilted. It was funny, the average age of the people in the course was 17 to 19 years, it seemed like nobody knew waht to make of me for a few days. Lots of them were from secluded parts of the country. Even the staff ripped on me for a few days but everyone accepted it and when I'd show up on weekends after breaks and was wearing pants people were asking what happened to the kilt.
