I was ATC with the Marine Corps at Cherry Point, NC back in the 90's. Welcome to the neighborhood.

Good luck with trying to work this out but with the Fed's and definitely with the FAA and now all the other entities who have a say in it... I think it will be virtually impossible. The heading "banned by the US Government" isa bit inflammatory and mis-leading. Currently the banning is by the ATC personnel at the airport you work at.

My best suggestion is to try and slowly work it in by wearing kilts to socical events with cooworkers. And eventually it may be allowed into the workplace as it becomes less of a shock to them and viewed less as a rebellion against a stricter dress code.
