Critic - always the critic
Perldog - I used to call myself a curmudgeon (spelling?) in training. But the Battle Axe says that I no longer am in training, I have reached instructor status.
I retired from the Corps in '94 right after the last flair-up. I live close to Camp Pendleton and keep in touch with the younger crowd of Marines. They are still the finest in the world, but then I am biased!!!
If your son ever gets stationed out here, I would be glad to have him over for a dinner. The Battle Axe still likes young Marines. She still teaches a few classes on base. We have several active duty Marines in my Masonic Lodge also.
I really shouldn't have been as harsh as I was, because I surely can't work her sewing machine!
I really didn't know how to say it any other way. I look forward to your next kilt.
By the way I posted several flix of me in some of my kilts, so that you can get an idea of my tastes.

No offense taken. I also told My friend that with the narrow apron, long drop it would be more skirt like than kilt like. But a 68 year old that outworks me... well that is all the lip he will likely get from this corner.
My new corporal should hit Pendleton again in the next 60 days. It would be great to have him meet other kilted folk, especially another leatherneck. Right now I am sure that he suspects that this kilt madness is some form of cross-dressing invented by old busted up squids.
I will have to P.M. you his AIM nick when he gets stateside.
