Kilted students/instructors..

[KiltedCodeWarrior]

Ok, another topic dealing with being kilted at work. I attended a week long, off site training course this week. Great course, and I of course attended kilted. I did not think about it until I was walking into the training facility on the first day when it hit me that I was having another coming out experience! I was going to be in class with all of these people for a week, which is different than walking into a local store, buying something, and walking back out. I was going to be with these people 8 hours a day for 5 days straight!

Anyway, it got me to wondering about others experiences kilted in a work environment, specifically in training (and I will say that my experience was great. It turns out the instructor is a Farquharson (I hope I spelled that right, I know that the tartan is offerered by Rocky on the USAK site) and very proud of his heritage. He commented to me the first day (when I was wearing my tan UK original from Bryan) that he thought it was great.

So, has anyone else attended training for work while kilted? What was your experience? Was it accepted? Did the instructor, or anybody else, acknowledge that you were wearing a kilt?

And for the instructors, have you ever taught a class while kilted? How did it go? How did the students respond? I have taught in the past and think that teaching in a kilt would be great! A great way to capture the students attention and to generate discussion during the course.
