U.S. Marine in need

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.
