n00b in Hawaii

[Livingston]

Welcome to the board. You will have fun here. Maybe your next kilt should be the US Navy tartan?

UAO, which am I? Tried to determine from your post, but.....did not see "sick individual" in the list....

KCW - they're still writing the code to describe you

Welcome and Aloha, I just got back from spending 5 weeks in Honolulu...I was kilted there all the time. Great place to be and hope to go back again soon.
Enjoy your stay at xmarks....
Cheers

Welcome aboard! I used to be stationed in Hawaii, Pearl Harbor, and of course was in the Navy! Is there really a Navy tartan? US Navy?

Any way, post when you can!


DALE.

Sounds like you have to look into the Polaris Tartan story...

Welcome to the kilted twilight zone...

Thanks all for the welcomes!

Looks like you are really getting into the whole Kilt thing. Don't you just love it?

The freedom rocks. Now I know what Mel Gibson was REALLY referring to at the end of Braveheart!

I am jealous of where you are stationed! Must be great to be kilted in Hawaii!

Hawaii does have SOME advantages. Though, being from Indianapolis... I think I'd STILL go kilted in a real winter.

Congrats on joining the forum, and also on making your own kilts! A labor of love for sure.

Indeed a labor of love. As in I love the look on my wifes face when I wear a kilt. ;) The looks from others are entertaining as well.

I'm actually contemplating getting what you see here: http://www.alexismalcolmkilts.bigste...generic24.html
I'd like to have that done in the Navy tartan. I also want to get a "Dolphins" kilt pin: http://www.alexismalcolmkilts.bigste...ersKiltPin.JPG
(I want mine in silver, though, as opposed to gold)

I'll trade you places. Frankly, after having spent 5 years here, I've had enough. Actually... I had had enough after one year.
This just isn't the place for a corn fed Hoosier boy! lol

Now what could possibly be more fun than stoking the furnace on a nuclear sub?!

I could think of plenty.

So are your shipmates just as enthusiastic about kilts as you are?

Likely not... One guy even gave me a weird look when I mentioned I was a budding Rennie.

Sounds like you have to look into the Polaris Tartan story...

Hmmm... looking now!

Welcome to XMarks from the Mts. of Utah.
I got stuck in Honolulu for 4 days (long story) trying to get back to the states on stand-by. It was better than being stuck in Lybia guarding airplanes with a flash light and a whistle??? for 3 nights.

Welcome from another squid. I am currently in the Navy reserves. I spent six years active duty as a nuclear components welder. I repaired subs.

Welcome to XMarks. I was a Navy Hospital Corpsman during the Vietnam War. Sounds like great duty being stationed in Hawaii.

Okay, now that I have someone's attention...

I'd like to add an Avatar to my signature. Particularly one of my Clan Badge (MacNicol), but where do I find that? Obviously, a bunch of us already have. But, where do I go for this??

Thanks,

Hey! Welcome, kama'aina! I am jealous that I didn't know of kilts when I lived in Kailua windward of you long ago. Used to take the bus over the Pali downtown to work, until I got a job locally. I'm sure it's a whole different place now.
