Tartan Army/Army Tartan

[Ugly Bear]

Semper fi, guys!

"Semper fi?" Hm ... that's kinda odd ... which branch of the service were you thinking of here?

But no pictures? What's up with that???

These pictures should tide you over. (Cross-posted in Kilt Pics.)

Thanks, Rocky & Kelly. Superb job, and worth the wait.

"Semper fi?" Hm ... that's kinda odd ... which branch of the service were you thinking of here?

Which branch? Well, I served in the Department of the Navy . . . the Men's Department, as they like to say! Served with some pretty sharp soldiers, I think the tartan's wicked cool and stunningly good looking, and I wanted to emphasize that whole "working together" thing (a la Red Mike Carlson and 'gung ho').

Plus, from reading either Manchester or "With the Old Breed at Peliliu" I picked up on a secondary meaning of "semper fi" from the Pacific campaigns: "I've got mine." As in, "Hey buddy, can I borrow a cigarette?" "Semper fi, mac."

Pics look great---and I think that's the first time I've ever seen your face!

Something tells me that KC better not wear that Army tartan to tomorrow's kilt night. I have pleanty of room in my suitcase to bring it back to where it belongs, an ARMY family living in an ARMY town.
