Credit for this find really goes to Walkerk

Its a great little clip about military kilts, has Gunney, the narrator, wearing one, and includes actual footage of "The Ladies from Hell"

Thanks for the link gentlemen (though I would have it would have been much cooler if had eaten the haggis!)

Cheers

FANTASTIC ! ! ! semper fi, kilter bros.!

That was a great little clip with lots of stuff packed into a very few seconds.

Just wish the guns had eaten the haggis! But you'll have to admit he looked pretty good in that kilt.

I did notice that the piper was wearing a Gordon kilt with a Black Watch badge and hackle on a bonnet from some other regiment.

I don't know how I missed that episode! I am a big fan of Mail Call! This was a funny episode and for a guy who delights in demolishing watermelons with various sorts of fire arms to turn down haggis!!! Oh well, no accounting for taste!

Are you sure? I'm almost CERTAIN that piper is sporting the Leatherneck tartan.

" mail call shows why kilts are more than just a bad fashion statement"

I dont know if I agree with that.....

Yeah, the piper is wearing Leatherneck. My screens too dark to make out the Gunny's kilt but seeing as it is so dark I'd gamble it's The Black Watch. It probably belongs to the piper who loaned it to Gunny for the shoot.

I'm guessing that its probably like a newspaper headlines, something written by the website promotional staff rather than the actual writer of the content.
