I personaly belive, It depends on how homophobic you think these people are.. If you think they are open minded enough "go for it" if not, as Blu said get the job first then do the kilt later.

It's got nothing to do with "homophobia" It's just a matter of people "accepting" the kilt or not.
I believe that when Riverkilt inteviewed for the city board of directorshttp://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/s...ighlight=board Things worked out well for him. Leave an impression. Firefighters from the midwest have a deep conection to celtic heritage. Don't know how they are around you but as you have been part-timing in firehouses around the area I'm sure you have an idea as to how people feel. I hope you go for it!
Worn with the proper shirt, tie and jacket I don't think it;ll be a problem. You might let them know you're also a piper (which they'll likely ask you anyway) and it might be a positive thing for you.
As you are probably aware organizations exist that are founded by active and retired police and firefighters. My case in point is the Colorado Emerald Society. If Tuscon (or Arizona) has an organization like that you could probably find out about its proper attire in that case first, and go from there.
However getting the job is the number one priority, and not wanting to do something wrong may or may not get you employment.
No, no & no. Interviews are won or lost in the first few seconds. You have no possible way to know who is on the other side of the desk or their attitude to kilts. I wear my kilts WHEN I know my audience. I would not let an employee go on any first meeting in a kilt.
Now, don't think I'm anti-far from it. I found kilts for everyone that would wear one to our golf outing.
