An Americian Scottsman
I just found this forum. I have been looking for some first hand experience ,As I return to my kilt after a long absence.
When I was serving in the U.S. Army 25 years ago. Some of my Fellow Soldiers and I who all shared common Scottish roots ,Took to wearing our Kilts when we had a chance to make it off the base. And we were very rough in our kilt wearing. A wool army blanket cut to size with corse pleats and a pistol belt to hold it up. And our combat boots. We found that some of the girls were interested in our pride as Scottsman.
Not a lot but some. As for the other guys,we only got in two fist fights while we were kilting. They were great days. So now I have gotten another kilt ,And I will start out by taking it to our local highland games in two weeks.
I am signed up for the events. But I am still very new to most of the traditions. But I do know how to toss my caber. I have been practiceing.
Thank's for letting me be a part of your form. I will try to be a good member and stay on topic.

"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
