However, I would think that if civilian attire is OK, you can wear a kilt, trousers, or even a dress. (Keep away from the dress. Trust me on this one.)
... that one made me laugh, you would think that it would not need to be said, but then again the world if full of stupid people. Before posting I did look at the AR670-1 and found that it was rather unforgiving on the kilt allowance as part of the uniform. Which is fine as rules are setup for reasons and my Army Career is a bit too young to be trying to bend or test gray areas yet. I think that MacMillan stated it best "If I am attending a formal military function, I wear my US Army mess dress. If I am attending a formal civilian function I wear civilian attire." as I translate the 'civilian attire' to mean Kilt and I was thinking that it would be kilt plus Prince Charlie to prevent the mix/partial uniform issue.
