WooT! Got another one kilted!
Years ago a friend of mine stated that he wouldn't be caught dead in a dress. Over the years he has asked questions about the kilt and I have answered them. Last month someone shouted "nice skirt" toward me in my kilt. Tony, the friend, replied "it isn't a skirt, it's a kilt.. and stop showing the world how ignorant you are".
Last week Tony told me "you know, people wouldn't give you such a hard time if you and I both wore kilts". I thought "hmm opportunity here", and asked if he was serious. He said he was and we sat down and started looking at tartans. I went over the "official rules" with him (told him there aren't any) and he ordered a kilt in the Black Watch tartan a few days later. I donated a belt, some hose, and a set of flashes (from my recent USAK order). He doesn't have a sporran yet (minimum wage in Seattle sucks) but he seems to be fully committed.
His girlfriend, a good friend of mine for many years, found out about this and gave me a big bear hug - she has always been a proponent of the kilt. She also said something about contributing funds toward a new sporran for Tony.
Another enlightened man joins our ranks. Is this great or what?!

Congrads! I've got one on the way.... hasn't fully admitted to me yet, but he is getting one to wear for my wedding and his girlfriend told me it's not intended to be worn just one day. Same deal as you, if we both were kilted there would be less harassing. Me, I'm not too intimidating. But add a full size kilted linebacker, and people may start keeping their mouth shut!
Does Tony know that not too long from now, he'll be on this site posting and have another kilt on it's way in the mail??

I'm hoping! He spent quite a bit of time on his own looking around the USAK and SWK sites.

I didn't know where else to put it so I thought OT would be safe.

Well done! The more the better for all of us.

That is great! Another one joins the rabble!
"A veteran, whether active duty, retired, national guard or reserve, is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to "The United States of America", for an amount of "up to and including my life." That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it." anon
