Talked to my lass today. I had a feeling this was going to happen when I saw the email from the USPS. During my leave time, we dropped in on USA Kilts. Once I recovered from tartan-sensory overload, we got down to the business of kilt ordering. Rocky measured my up for my premier kilt and helped me figure out everything else I needed. Jen walked around the store and fell in love with the outfit on a mannequin - a red sweater with a kilted skirt in the American Heritage tartan. A short while later we walked out with orders for 1 premier kilt in the Clark tartan, 4 semi-trads (Irish National, American Heritage, Stewart Black, and Thompson Camel), and 2 kilted skirts (American Heritage and Clark). Today I called home and Jen told me that the semi-trad and her skirts had arrived. Talk about speed. We only ordered them 4 weeks ago! So now, here I am stuck in ACU trousers, just like everyone else, with 4 new kilts waiting for me at home. Luckily, we won't be doing the full 15 months here. This is going to be the longest 10 weeks of my year. Hopefully there's a picture being taken of my new kilts as we speak. At least I can see them, if not wear them.
