U.S. Marine in need

[The Wizard of BC]

Just to show that it can be done.

OK, this is an Army SSG and the kilt is done in ACU Digital. But I also carry MarPat Woodland and Desert in stock along with other Camos. I just don't have photos loaded in Photobucket.





I have done quite a few Kilts for all the branches of both US and Canadian services. Right now I have an order for 5, 3-color Desert camo kilts for the officers of a small outpost up north.

I too am one of Uncle Sam's Misguided Children. Born at Pendelton and raised bouncing back and forth between Cherry Point and El Toro. Did my time in the latter years of Viet-Nam before taking a break by switching over to the Army. Ended my career after serving in Desert Storm flying Apache's.

Former Marine ATC. I think you would most likely be fine as long as you conducted yourself in a respectful manner. Some of the crap I've seen military personnel wearing off duty is outside the "regulations" as well, but no one says anything.

I've found that most military and former military appreciate the significance of the kilt on a warrior level.

BEEDEE here is involved with the SAMS up in New Bern. Right there is a built in reason for the kilt. Involvement in a veterans organization! There may even be some helpful contacts in that group if you ever do run into any issues.

Semper Fi!

I would second cavscout's mention of SAMS and also through this group into the mix:

As a retired Marine Master Gunnery Sergeant with over 33 years in our Corps, I can tell you, from first hand knowledge, that I wore the kilt all over the world when on my own time. I can't remember a negative reaction. When on your own time, you can pretty much wear anything within reason. And in my mind, the kilt is within reason.

Before I forget.....

And in my mind, the kilt is within reason.

If the Master Gunny says you can wear it; WEAR IT!

OOHRAH
