Being in the air force, regs do not allow kilts with the uniform, however they dont strictly enforce it... there has been times where they have allowed airmen to wear kilts with their blues.. however, being retired, there is nothing one can say to that person about taking a blues coat and having it altered into a PC... Frankly i support that thought, and even wish that the military would allow someone to do that for such occasions based off of heritage and belief... as some have said, " i dont trust the no one will say something card" it to me is BS... its not like someone from the military can do anything to a retired vet for wearing their uniform in the way that they want to wear it as long as they are not wearing it in an offensive manner. he has gained that right and as i said, no one can say anything or do anything about it... tell him to hook it up... I would also like to see some pics! hope my guidance helps you out!
