So there I was two days ago...or was it yesterday...the days are all running together lately since I've been working 11-13 hour days for 9 days straight...

My Division is currently conducting a major training exercise that involves several NATO countries. I was walking into the training center the other day and saw a British Soldier (Officer I'm pretty certain) seated and talking to another Soldier or civilian...don't remember which. The reason I don't remember is because I noted the tam sitting on the table next to him and remember thinking "that looks an awful lot like a RRoS Tam-o-Shanter...is he with the regiment...what else would tell me...oh...look for the patch on his right sleeve..."

Sure enough...there on his right sleeve was a Saltire with a Lion Rampant. I was in a hurry and didn't want to interrupt his meeting anyways...but I'm definitely looking to say hello if I get the chance. By the black hackle, I'm assuming he must be assigned to the Royal Scots Borders (1SCOTS). Pretty sure he's a Major or Lt. Col...but I was so fixated on the tam that I didn't think to get a good look!
