I am one of the former in this statement and for the sake of my family, I thank you and all your comrades in arms for your service. What more can I say.
I have never served (came close in '74 with a draft number of 35 and an 1A status) but as far as I'm concerned, I think you should be allowed to wear whatever you damn well please. Your superiors may disagree with me! I've been in civilian organizations with CoC's and I understand this all to well; don't p*ss off a fire chief! I've found it's a good idea to keep these folks "in the loop" that way they aren't unduly surprised.
Perhaps if you had the kilt in hand there would be sufficient interest and approval, especially if it was the Leatherneck Tartan.
Please keep us posted and wear it proudly when you come home!,
Bob
