Disturbed in a kilt

[Jack Daw]

So my girlfriend decideded she wanted to go see the rock band Disturbed when they were in town last weekend. We had to park a few blocks from the venue because all the closest spots were taken. While waiting to cross an intersection on the way, a Hummer full of college age girls pulled up and started yelling compliments my way and giving me a thumbs up. I smiled and gave them a thumbs up in return. (my girlfriend just rolled her eyes). While waiting in line to get in I had a bunch of teenage girls who wanted a picture with me, so I obliged. (much to the annoyance of my girlfriend). I didnt like the opening bands much so I stood out in the atrium to preserve my hearing and save my lungs from as much second hand smoke as possible. A guy walked by in a Utilikilt and I introduced myself and we bantered for a bit. After a good bit of conversation, Disturbed came on and I rather enjoyed their performance.

I am not used to getting nearly as much attention in my kilt as I did that day, but I ate it up. I dont wear my kilt looking for compliments but when they come my way (especially from girls my age) it does put some extra swagger in my stride. Here is a pic of me heading out the door to the concert.

Sorry if the pic is sideways. I have tried everything i can think of to get it to flip. It is rightside up on my computer and everytime I upload it it is oriented correctly on in my album. It comes out flipped when I preview though. I give up after 20 minutes of frustration.
Thats my dickies under and overshirt, USAK Navy kilt, and Berserk Sporran MK II in action.

Berserk, that was a good look. I'm always in search of the perfect boot to go with my kilt for casual, outdoor events. So, what brand/style boot is that, if you don't mind the question?

Man, just go to Wal Mart. I have a pair similar to those, and that's where I got mine.



I have these, and a pair of ankle high ones. Both purchased at Wal Mart.

I am at work not and I am not sure as to brand and I am trying to recall where I bought them. It has been over 4 years since I purchased them. I think I picked them up at a payless in the mall or something like that on sale. If my memory serves me they are by a company called State Street. They are most defnetly not high end, but they are great for just kicking around in. They have been the boot I use to work in the garge with for years.

You might remind the GF that the others only get to look at the menu, she is the one that has the prize. She should appreciate the lasses looking at you, envious of her, rather than your eyes on other lasses instead of her.
Great seeing you in the Navy kilt. Looks great on you.

The girlfriend is just playfully annoyed, not really serious.

Thanks for the compliment. I love that kilt, it is perfect for any situations where I dont want to be wearing wool, but I would like to still look traditional. I am actually excited about boot camp and I wish I was shipping earlier. I know it wont be a cakewalk but I am up for the challenge.

Thank you for serving our great nation. I hope you find it as rewarding as I did many years ago. I look forward to your posts when the opportunity arises. Boot camp will not be one of them. Shortly after that the world improves as you head off to your specialty school.
