Hey, Gentlemen, been lurking for a while, and figured I should introduce myself. Name's Shane, currently stationed in Kaiserslautern, and shortly going back "home" to georgia, six years here, and seven there so it's home to us now. I just got my first kilt in the mail today, a SWK standard in Irish National, and I am loving it. The kilt because my wifes scottish, and the tartan 'cause I'm Irish (it's a volatile combo, but we make it work). Also a nice big HI to all the other GI's over here! I'm more of a lurker than a poster, so in advance, thanks to all of you who have put so much info. on this board.

Have a good 'un

Welcome to the rabble from northern Idaho - I'm sure you'll love your SWK - great kilts for starting the addiction!

Shane, Welcome from the other side of Germany. I work at Grafenwoehr. You may have visited over here a few times.

SWK is a great way to get into kilting. Hope you will post pics soon.

Welcome! I spent two years (1999-2001) in the KMC.

I was USAF and stationed at Ramstein (86 MXS/ 623rd A.G.E. C.A.T.)

It was a great time, though much of it is fuzzy from too much stout consumed down at The Blarney Stone down in Ramstein Village, and Thirsty Nelly's and The Harp down in K-town. Memories, memories. I wasn't a kilt wearer at the time. But, I remember the Ramstein BX had a little Celtic vendor's shop in it. I can't remember for the life of me what it was called. But, they offered the usual tartan and family crest items. They also offered a kilt service (the type where you wait 6-8 weeks while some un named kilt maker in Scotland sews away for ya) as well as kilt accessories. I don't know if it's still there, but it could be useful to you if you needed some essentials (sporran, hose etc.) to wear with your new kilt. Congrats and enjoy.
