As a former National Park Service Ranger, I frequently was asked why I didn't lobby to wear a kilt with my uniform -- I would reply that I was proud to wear the "gray & green" of the NPS, a uniform that had been worn by many dedicated public servants over the years, just as many have inthe USFS.

When I wore the NPS uniform, I was the steward of an American Civil War Battlefield, and a very recognizable one to the general public, which was an awesome responsibility. I figured I could give up my individuality to serve my country.

And if you do go USFS -- don't do the Yogi/Boo-Boo jokes. You'll here enough of that from self-proclaimed comedians.
