The Guy in the skirt

[Kilted KT]

I already have it on a shirt, along with several other reasons why I wear a kilt: http://www.cafepress.com/kiltwear/1132619

The Grog at a Military Dinning In has a tradition all its own, and each ingredient symbolizes something. Besides the liquor: Scotch vidka etc. there were a number of things to include a little bit of sand, a 5.56 cartridge, a swatch of fabric, and other things i do not recall. Each ingredent was called out as it was added, and its signifigance was noted..
This shot was taken at the end of the night. the NCO to my right is leaning a bit he had spent much more time at the grog than any of the other attendees.

In American military tradition, the different alcohols in a regimental punch usually symbolise where a regiment served or a significant event in regimental history; so for example:

Tequila: Mexico (Mexican War or Mexican Border Service)
Red Wine: (France, World Wars)
Schnapps: Germany (Occupation duty)
Saki: Japan (same)

The other items may also have some significance, as you pointed out, to regimental history. The unit insignia also may display symbols of prior service.

We used to put whatever we could get at the Class 6 store- and I mean just about every liquer and whatever type of booze they had and poured it all into a large punch bowl and we called it "Aviator Punch" and believe me it had a punch not to mention a great flavor with all that mix.

We had a large glass boot that was filled with beer and that was passed around the table and everyone was to drink from the boot with the toe straight up and whoever broke the toe, that is, allowed the air to reach the toe was to guzzle the rest of the beer and then drink a glass of Aviator Punch, man, oh man, thoese were some of the best memories that I can't remember!

Things really get out of hand in the grog when it was a "dining in" function (i.e. spouses not in attendance. I can't mention here some of the things I've seen done.
