When I first saw it from afar I thought he was a Marine.
I got out in '07 also, so I missed the new uniforms.


I might be one of about ten people who actually likes the new working uniform. It's not really the uniform I like as much as the fact that they finally got rid of working whites. I hated wearing them--my CNT's rarely went thirty minutes before there was something nasty on them. I never could wear white! And utilities going away was probably a good thing too in the long run. They weren't really all that well made and didn't hold up well. I always liked the working blues with garrison cap and wished they would just make it a year-round uniform.

I have a "Johnny Cash" top that I wound up never using, never sewed my crow or rocker on it either. I wear it with the kilt now and then, including once in a parade with US Army tartan and American Legion garrison cap. IMHO it looks better with the kilt than a dungaree or working white shirt. I still haven't gotten my Edzell kilt even after six years active duty and two years selres in the Navy. My stint in the Army was much shorter due to a training injury which has resulted in two operations, the second one coming next month.

My next kilt will most definitely be an Edzell.
