US military in kilts

[arrogcow]

I don't know, all of the SEALS I ever knew were a little nuts (I mean that in a good way). They would probably groove on it. It's the Marines in the AG, and Quartermaster Corp (or what ever they are called as Marines - again I was Army), you know the charibourne rangers that still think they are bad *** 'cause they're Marines, that I think would have problems.

What do you mean "a little nuts?"

The SEALS I knew were crazier than a shot rabbit!

I'm talking about big time, jumping down somebodies throat, just so they can crawl out the other end kinda crazy! Those guys are undoubtedly badnews hombres in battle, and not the most comfortable sorts to go out drinking with. Especially if you are the quiet and peacable type like me. I'm too damned fat and old to go bar crawling with SEALS these days.

BTW, I think SEALs would eat kilts like candy. If for no other reason, they'd love a new excuse to pick a barfight.

Once my Cav troop was doing a land navigation course at the same time as a SEAL team. We logically boxed around a swamp in the middle, they walked/swam right through.

You're right about that. I called a couple that I know after I posted and they both think that kilts would be an excellent way to mess with peoples heads! The REMFs are the ones who wouldn't like it-too "feminine" for a warrior. They need to look at the troops across the pond who wear them daily and proudly. Those guys have a long and distinguished history of being kilted and kicking butt.

Well, speaking as a Reserve Navy Supply Officer, I can already think of how to appropriately handle the issue of them. Really, it would be like any other clothing issue and I would be first in line to sign up for the uniform test time. Lets see, the new navy cammo they're testing for work day, non combat (NBC worries and all, although I think I could get the gear over a kilt pretty fast), Kahki and denim for the office work uniform and Edsel for dress (or Polaris if you wear dolphins (optional) or the SeaBees for the SeaBees). You sign the issue papers, get a document on how to take care of it and you have to replace it when it wears out.
