What can I add to this other than personal experience. When I first started wearing the kilt a few months ago, the thought of going regimental was beyond me. However, once I got more used to the kilt, regimental was not far behind.
I would say I am 50/50 now depending on the situation. For example, for church or related functions, I absolutely do not go regimental. For other functions, it depends. Of course, one must always preserve the mystery for those around us! And as a side word of advice, always be prepared to answer "THE QUESTION"
I also recommend that you read Matt Newsomes advice on the subject here (scroll all the way to the bottom, although the entire article is a good read!).... http://www.albanach.org/advice.htm
"A veteran, whether active duty, retired, national guard or reserve, is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to "The United States of America", for an amount of "up to and including my life." That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it." anon
