    Somthing odd happend...

    So I volunteer a lot for the local police in my state by being an actor for new trainees, I mainly pretend I'm a drunk scotsman and do whatever the officer in charge tells me to do (I.E get in the way, sing songs, or cause overall problems)
    last night after doing the scenarios I was asked by the officer in charge of all the training if I could wear my kilt tonight for the trainings..... of course I said yes!! though I never expected it.. who knew? anyways time to go have fun with the new cadets in my blackwatch kilt!
    Cheers!
    I drink coffee and pretend to know what I am doing.

    Sounds like a great "gig" or gag to play with cadets in training. I took my full face motorcycle helmet to a first responder (medic) training to teach new people how to remove them in emergency situations. When something new is introduced the learning curve spikes.

    As cck asks, please update us on the reaction.

    Haha, the faces were priceless!! they did not know were to start!! and I got a lot of good complements from the officers around so it took the slight nervousness away and a lot of friendly jokes.... I'm not aloud to take pics sadly but it was a lot of fun! I actually got asked to do it again tonight with a new group of newbies, so let the shenanigans began again!!

    Could video be obtained from testing body cameras? That would also be a good training exercise to mention.
