Friends,

Let me make myself clear, I personally feel that to wear a tartan of a branch that I had not served would be an offense. I would never think of wearing the Leatherneck Tartan, I do respect the Marines for the service they provide but I have never wanted to be a member of the corp.

pretending to have served thing.
And as mentioned at the beginning of the post, I have no intention of pretending to have served in the army, my grandfather had, and I plan on doing so when I am finished with school. My question was not whether it was inappropriate to wear the tartan, the military branch tartans I have a high respect for. I was asking for opinions if it would be appropriate to perhaps, "jump the gun" if you will.

My apologies if there was any confusion of my intent.

Peace and Harmony,
Jason
